HPSC PGT(CS)- Python Subjective Series

Day 23
Syllabus Coverage

- Tuples in Python

- Introduction to tuples, indexing, and operations: concatenation, repetition, membership,


slicing.

- Built-in functions: `len()`, `tuple()`, `count()`, `index()`, `sorted()`, `min()`, `max()`, `sum()`.

- Tuple assignment, nested tuples.

- Suggested programs: finding minimum, maximum, mean; linear search; counting frequency
of elements.

Question of the day:


1. Explain tuple assignment and nested tuples with examples. 5 M
2. Why are tuples considered immutable? How does this affect operations
like insertion and deletion? 5M

Program of the day:


1. Write a Python program to find the index of a specified element in a
tuple using the index() method. 3M
2. Given a tuple of numbers, write a program to find the minimum,
maximum, and mean (average) of the elements. 3M
3. Write a program to convert a list into a tuple and vice versa. 4M
1. Explain tuple assignment and nested tuples with examples. (5 Marks)

Answer:
Tuple Assignment:

• Allows assigning multiple variables in a single line using tuples.

• Useful for swapping values without a temporary variable.

Example:

# Tuple assignment

a, b = 10, 20

print("a =", a, "b =", b) # Output: a = 10 b = 20

# Swapping values

a, b = b, a

print("After swap: a =", a, "b =", b) # Output: After swap: a = 20 b = 10

Nested Tuples:

• A tuple inside another tuple.

• Accessed using multiple indices.

Example:

nested_tuple = (1, (2, 3), (4, (5, 6)))

print("First element:", nested_tuple[0]) # Output: First element: 1

print("Second element's first item:", nested_tuple[1][0]) # Output: 2

print("Third element's nested item:", nested_tuple[2][1][1]) # Output: 6

2. Why are tuples considered immutable? How does this affect operations like insertion and
deletion? (5 Marks)

Answer:
Immutability of Tuples:

• Tuples cannot be modified after creation (no adding, removing, or changing


elements).

• Makes them faster than lists and suitable for fixed data (e.g., dictionary keys).

Impact on Operations:

• Insertion: Not allowed. Use + to concatenate new elements into a new tuple.

tuple1 = (1, 2)

tuple2 = tuple1 + (3,) # Correct: Creates a new tuple (1, 2, 3)


• Deletion: Only possible by creating a new tuple excluding the unwanted elements.

tuple3 = (1, 2, 3, 4)

new_tuple = tuple3[:2] + tuple3[3:] # Deletes element at index 2 → (1, 2, 4)

• Modification: Direct changes (e.g., tuple[0] = 10) raise TypeError.

Programming Solutions

1. Find the index of a specified element in a tuple using the index() method. (3 Marks)

my_tuple = (10, 20, 30, 20, 40)

element = 20

# Find the first occurrence of the element

index = my_tuple.index(element)

print("Index of", element, "is:", index)

Output:

Index of 20 is: 1

2. Find the minimum, maximum, and mean of a tuple of numbers. (3 Marks)

numbers = (5, 10, 15, 20, 25)

minimum = min(numbers)

maximum = max(numbers)

mean = sum(numbers) / len(numbers)

print("Minimum:", minimum)

print("Maximum:", maximum)

print("Mean:", mean)

Output:

Minimum: 5

Maximum: 25

Mean: 15.0
3. Convert a list into a tuple and vice versa. (4 Marks)

# List to Tuple

my_list = [1, 2, 3]

list_to_tuple = tuple(my_list)

print("List converted to tuple:", list_to_tuple)

# Tuple to List

my_tuple = (4, 5, 6)

tuple_to_list = list(my_tuple)

print("Tuple converted to list:", tuple_to_list)

Output:

List converted to tuple: (1, 2, 3)

Tuple converted to list: [4, 5, 6]
