The tuple() function (or tuple() constructor) is used to create tuple using an iterable object. An iterable object can be any data structure like list, tuple, set, string and dictionary etc. An iterable created by range() function can also be used here.
tuple(iterable)
iterable |
Required. iterable like list, tuple, set, string , dictionary, etc. |
In the below example, tuple() function is used to create a tuple using an iterable like list, tuple, set and string, etc.
#using list as iterable
MyTuple = tuple(['JAN', 'FEB', 'MAR', 'APR'])
print(MyTuple)
#using tuple as iterable
MyTuple = tuple(('JAN', 'FEB', 'MAR', 'APR'))
print(MyTuple)
#using set as iterable
MyTuple = tuple({'JAN', 'FEB', 'MAR', 'APR'})
print(MyTuple)
#using string as iterable
MyTuple = tuple('string')
print(MyTuple)
('JAN', 'FEB', 'MAR', 'APR')
('JAN', 'FEB', 'MAR', 'APR')
('JAN', 'FEB', 'MAR', 'APR')
('s', 't', 'r', 'i', 'n', 'g')
In the below example, tuple() function is used to create a tuple using dictionary as an iterable.
MyDict = {
'name': 'John',
'age': 25,
'city': 'London'
}
MyTuple = tuple(MyDict)
print(MyTuple)
MyTuple = tuple(MyDict.keys())
print(MyTuple)
MyTuple = tuple(MyDict.values())
print(MyTuple)
('name', 'age', 'city')
('name', 'age', 'city')
('London', 25, 'John')
