Python Tuple Exercise with Solutions

A tuple is an immutable object in Python that can’t be changed. Tuples are also sequences, just like Python lists.

This Python Tuple exercise aims to help you to learn and practice tuple operations. All questions are tested on Python 3.

This Tuple exercise includes the following: –

• It contains 10 questions and solutions provided for each question.

Exercise 1: Reverse the tuple

Given:

tuple1 = (10, 20, 30, 40, 50)

Expected output:

(50, 40, 30, 20, 10)

tuple1 = (10, 20, 30, 40, 50)
tuple1 = tuple1[::-1]
print(tuple1)

Exercise 2: Access value 20 from the tuple

The given tuple is a nested tuple. write a Python program to print the value 20.

Given:

tuple1 = ("Orange", [10, 20, 30], (5, 15, 25))

Expected output:

20

tuple1 = ("Orange", [10, 20, 30], (5, 15, 25))

# understand indexing
# tuple1[0] = 'Orange'
# tuple1[1] = [10, 20, 30]
# list1[1][1] = 20

print(tuple1[1][1])

Exercise 3: Create a tuple with single item 50

tuple1= (50, )
print(tuple1)

Exercise 4: Unpack the tuple into 4 variables

Write a program to unpack the following tuple into four variables and display each variable.

Given:

tuple1 = (10, 20, 30, 40)

Expected output:

tuple1 = (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

tuple1 = (10, 20, 30, 40)

# unpack tuple into 4 variables
a, b, c, d = tuple1
print(a)
print(b)
print(c)
print(d)

Exercise 5: Swap two tuples in Python

Given:

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 6: Copy specific elements from one tuple to a new tuple

Write a program to copy elements 44 and 55 from the following tuple into a new tuple.

Given:

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 7: Modify the tuple

Given is a nested tuple. Write a program to modify the first item (22) of a list inside a following tuple to 222

Given:

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 8: Sort a tuple of tuples by 2^nd item

Given:

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

Given:

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

Expected output:

2

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

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

tuple1 = (45, 45, 45, 45)

Expected output:

True

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

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