Exploring Tuples in Python

In this lesson, we’ll explore tuple objects a bit closer and we’ll cover the ways to create and use tuples. This lesson is part of a series of content designed to help you learn to program with the Python programming language.

Learning Objectives

• Tuples are a special type of collection used to store a small number of related objects
• Tuples cannot be changed once they’re created
• Tuples can be created by:
• Passing a collection to the built-in tuple function
• Using the parentheses shorthand syntax with each object separated with a comma
• Tuples can be automatically unpacked into name bindings by specifying the same amount of names as objects

Intended Audience

This lesson was designed for first-time developers wanting to learn Python. 

Prerequisites 

This is an introductory lesson and doesn’t require any prior programming knowledge.
