6.16. Tuple Operators and Built-in Functions

6.16.1. Standard and Sequence TypeOperators and Built-in Functions

Object and sequence operators and built-in functions act the exact same way toward tuples as they do with lists. You can still take slices of tuples, concatenate and make multiple copies of tuples, validate membership, and compare tuples:

Creation, Repetition, Concatenation

>>> t = (['xyz', 123], 23, -103.4)
>>> t
(['xyz', 123], 23, -103.4)
>>> t * 2
(['xyz', 123], 23, -103.4, ['xyz', 123], 23, -103.4)
>>> t = t + ('free', 'easy')
>>> t
(['xyz', 123], 23, -103.4, 'free', 'easy')

Membership, Slicing

>>> 23 in t
1
>>> 123 in t
0
>>> t[0][1]
123
>>> t[1:]
 (23, -103.4, 'free', 'easy')

Built-in Functions

 >>> str(t) (['xyz', 123], ...
