A tuple object is immutable in Python. Tuples are also sequences, just like Python lists. The tuples cannot be changed. This Python Tuple exercise aims to help Python developers to learn and practice tuple operations. Here I am providing 10 tuple programs to help you in brushing up your coding skills. All questions are tested on Python 3.

What included in this Tuple exercise?

The exercise contains 10 questions and solutions provided for each question. This Python tuple coding exercise is nothing but Python tuple assignments to solve, where you can solve and practice different tuple programs, questions, problems, and challenges.

Each question includes a specific tuple related topic you need to learn. This tuple exercise covers tuple creation, operations, unpacking of a tuple. When you complete each question, you get more familiar with Python tuple. Let us know if you have any alternative solutions. It will help other developers.

Exercise Question 1: Reverse the following tuple

aTuple = (10, 20, 30, 40, 50)

Expected output:

(50, 40, 30, 20, 10)

Solution:

aTuple = (10, 20, 30, 40, 50)
aTuple = aTuple[::-1]
print(aTuple)
Show Solution
Hide Solution

Exercise Question 2: Access value 20 from the following tuple

aTuple = ("Orange", [10, 20, 30], (5, 15, 25))

Expected output:

20

Solution:

aTuple = ("Orange", [10, 20, 30], (5, 15, 25))
print(aTuple[1][1])
Show Solution
Hide Solution

Exercise Question 3: Create a tuple with single item 50

Solution:

aTuple = (50, )
print(aTuple)

If you want to create a single value tuple, you must indicate it by adding a comma just before the closing parentheses.

Example: Not a tuple

aTuple = (50)
print(type(aTuple ))  # <type 'int'>
Show Solution
Hide Solution

Exercise Question 4: Unpack the following tuple into 4 variables

aTuple = (10, 20, 30, 40)

Expected output:

aTuple = (10, 20, 30, 40)
# Your code
print(a) # should print 10
print(b) # should print 20
print(c) # should print 30
print(d) # should print 40

Solution:

aTuple = (10, 20, 30, 40)
a, b, c, d = aTuple
print(a)
print(b)
print(c)
print(d)
Show Solution

Exercise Question 5: Swap the following two tuples

tuple1 = (11, 22)
tuple2 = (99, 88)

Expected output:

tuple1 = (99, 88)
tuple2 = (11, 22)

Solution:

tuple1 = (11, 22)
tuple2 = (99, 88)
tuple1, tuple2 = tuple2, tuple1
print(tuple2)
print(tuple1)
Show Solution

Exercise Question 6: Copy element 44 and 55 from the following tuple into a new tuple

tuple1 = (11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66)

Expected output:

tuple2 = (44, 55)

Solution:

tuple1 = (11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66)
tuple2 = tuple1[3:-1]
print(tuple2)
Show Solution
Hide Solution

Exercise Question 7: Modify the first item (22) of a list inside a following tuple to 222

tuple1 = (11, [22, 33], 44, 55)

Expected output:

tuple1 = (11, [222, 33], 44, 55)

Solution:

tuple1 = (11, [22, 33], 44, 55)
tuple1[1][0] = 222
print(tuple1)
Show Solution
Hide Solution

Exercise Question 8: Sort a tuple of tuples by 2nd item

tuple1 = (('a', 23),('b', 37),('c', 11), ('d',29))

Expected output:

(('c', 11), ('a', 23), ('d', 29), ('b', 37))

Solution:

tuple1 = (('a', 23),('b', 37),('c', 11), ('d',29))
tuple1 = tuple(sorted(list(tuple1), key=lambda x: x[1]))
print(tuple1)
Show Solution
Hide Solution

Exercise Question 9: Counts the number of occurrences of item 50 from a tuple

tuple1 = (50, 10, 60, 70, 50)

Expected output:

2

Solution:

tuple1 = (50, 10, 60, 70, 50)
print(tuple1.count(50))
Show Solution
Hide Solution

Exercise Question 10: Check if all items in the following tuple are the same

tuple1 = (45, 45, 45, 45)

Expected output:

True

Solution:

def check(sampleTuple):
    return all(i == sampleTuple[0] for i in sampleTuple)

tuple1 = (45, 45, 45, 45)
print(check(tuple1))

    what about this code. is this correct way or wrong way for best programmer

    
tuple1 = (44, "sd", 43, 45.55)
tuple2 = tuple1[::-1]
cnt = 0
for i,j in zip(tuple1,tuple2):
    if i == j:
        c = 0
        continue
    else:
        c = 1

if c == 0:
    print("Are value are same")
else:
    print("Not All value are same")

    Hi Vishal, I’ve been learning Python for about 6 months and I am flustered. I don’t know any programmers but a few videos I’ve subscribed to on Youtube. I’ve have tried to research google for myself and discovered you. I was working with Udemy and kept getting confused. I am trying to write a simple program for myself. I want to randomly select a file from a directory, yet I am hitting a wall. I have Python 3.7 and here is my sample.

    import os
import random
d = os.getcwd()

parent = os.path.join(d, "....")

d1 = os.path.join(d, "utils")
d2 = os.path.join(d1,"tao")


path = (r"C:\Users\MyNameDEW\Desktop\TaoFinalProject.py\utils\tao")


tuple = tao_list = [(("Test_tao.txt",0),("1_tao.txt",1),("2_tao.txt",2),("3_tao.txt",3),("4_tao.txt",4),("5_tao.txt",5))]
print("Random element from tuple:",random.choice(tao_list))


fname = random.choice(tao_list)
f = open(fname, 'r', encoding='utf-8')
for l in f:
    print(l, end="")

    My results: TypeError: expected str, bytes, or os.PathLike object, not a tuple

      Hey, Derrick, you can try this code

      import os
import random

# change to your path
path = 'E:\\pynative\\Python\\'

# list all files
files = []
# r=root, d=directories, f = files
for r, d, f in os.walk(path):
    for file in f:
        if '.txt' in file:
            files.append(os.path.join(r, file))

# print all file names
for f in files:
    print(f)

# choose random file
randomFile = random.choice(files)
print("random file")
print(randomFile)

# read selected file
f = open(randomFile, 'r', encoding='utf-8')
for l in f:
    print(l, end="")

    WIll this work???

    tuple1 = (45, 45, 45, 45)
    if len(tuple1) == tuple1.count(45):
        return True
    else:
        return False

    I have tried below the solution for Question No.10, Please let me know if its correct way to check

    tuple1 = (45, 45, 45, 45)
tuple2 = tuple1[::-1]
if tuple1 == tuple2:
    print("True")
else:
    print("False")

    The solution (or task) in Exercise Question 10 is wrong. It will return true even if values are different:

    tuple1 = (44, "sd", 43, 45.55)
print(all(tuple1))

    Output:
    True
