Tuple in Python (3)

Buy Me a Coffee☕

*Memo:

• My post explains a tuple (1).
• My post explains a tuple (2).
• My post explains a tuple (4).
• My post explains a tuple (5).
• My post explains a tuple (6).

A tuple and other tuples can be concatenated with + as shown below:

v = (0, 1, 2) + ((3, 4),) + (((5, 6, 7, 8),),)

print(v)
# (0, 1, 2, (3, 4), ((5, 6, 7, 8),))

A tuple and other tuples cannot return:

• all the elements in them with '|' (Union: A ∪ B).
• their common elements with '&' (Intersection: A ∩ B).
• the elements in the tuple which aren't in other tuple with '-' (Difference: A - B).

print((0, 4) | (0, 2, 4) | (0, 1, 3, 4))
# TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |: 'tuple' and 'tuple'

print((0, 4) & (0, 2, 4) & (0, 1, 3, 4))
# TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for &: 'tuple' and 'tuple'

print((0, 4) - (0, 2, 4) - (0, 1, 3, 4))
# TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'tuple' and 'tuple'

A tuple and other tuple cannot return the elements in the tuple but not in other tuple or not in the tuple but in other tuple with '^' (Symmetric Difference: A Δ B) as shown below:

print((0, 1, 2, 3) ^ (0, 2, 4))
# TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for ^: 'tuple' and 'tuple'

A tuple can be iterated with a for statement as shown below:

<1D tuple>:

for x in (0, 1, 2, 3, 4):
    print(x)
# 0
# 1
# 2
# 3
# 4

<2D tuple>:

for x in ((0, 1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6, 7)):
    for y in x:
        print(y)
# 0
# 1
# 2
# 3
# 4
# 5
# 6
# 7

<3D tuple>:

for x in (((0, 1), (2, 3)), ((4, 5), (6, 7))):
    for y in x:
        for z in y:
            print(z)
# 0
# 1
# 2
# 3
# 4
# 5
# 6
# 7

A tuple can be unpacked with an assignment and for statement, function and * but not with ** as shown below:

v1, v2, v3 = (0, 1, 2)

print(v1, v2, v3)
# 0 1 2

v1, *v2, v3 = (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

print(v1, v2, v3)  # 0 [1, 2, 3, 4] 5
print(v1, *v2, v3) # 0 1 2 3 4 5

for v1, v2, v3 in ((0, 1, 2), (3, 4, 5)):
    print(v1, v2, v3)
# 0 1 2
# 3 4 5

for v1, *v2, v3 in ((0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)):
    print(v1, v2, v3)
    print(v1, *v2, v3)
# 0 [1, 2, 3, 4] 5
# 0 1 2 3 4 5
# 6 [7, 8, 9, 10] 11
# 6 7 8 9 10 11

print(*(0, 1), 2, *(3, 4, *(5,)))
# 0 1 2 3 4 5

print((*(0, 1), 2, *(3, 4, *(5,))))
# (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

def func(p1='a', p2='b', p3='c', p4='d', p5='e', p6='f'):
    print(p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, p6)

func()
# a b c d e f

func(*(0, 1, 2, 3), *(4, 5))
# 0 1 2 3 4 5

def func(p1='a', p2='b', *args):
    print(p1, p2, args)
    print(p1, p2, *args)
    print(p1, p2, ['A', 'B', *args, 'C', 'D'])

func()
# a b ()
# a b Nothing
# a b ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']

func(*(0, 1, 2, 3), *(4, 5))
# 0 1 (2, 3, 4, 5)
# 0 1 2 3 4 5
# 0 1 ['A', 'B', 2, 3, 4, 5, 'C', 'D']
