Python Tuple Exercise with Solutions

A tuple object is immutable in Python. Tuples are also sequences, just like Python lists. The differences between tuples and lists are, the tuples cannot be changed. This Python Tuple exercise aims to help Python developers to learn and practice tuple operations. 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)

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

Exercise Question 2: Access value 20 from the following tuple

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

Expected output:

20

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

Exercise Question 3: Create a tuple with single item 50

aTuple = (50, )
print(aTuple)

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

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

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

Exercise Question 5: Swap the following two tuples

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

Expected output:

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

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

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)

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

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)

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

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))

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

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

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

Expected output:

2

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

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

tuple1 = (45, 45, 45, 45)

Expected output:

True

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

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