What is Tuples?

Tuples are used to store multiple items in a single variable.

Characterstics of Tuples

  • A tuple is a collection which is ordered and unchangeable and allow duplicate values.Tuples are unchangeable, meaning that we cannot change, add or remove items after the tuple has been created.
  • Tuples are written with round brackets.
  • Tuple items are indexed, the first item has index [0], the second item has index [1] etc.
  • When we say that tuples are ordered, it means that the items have a defined order, and that order will not change.

thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
print(thistuple)
