Tuples |Section 1|Celestial Warrior

00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:05,279

Let's now look at tuples. In the

previous lecture we looked at lists and

3

00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:10,790

tuples are very similar to lists, the

only difference is that tuples are not

5

00:00:10,790 --> 00:00:17,520

mutable, so you cannot change a tuple.

Lists are used much more than tuples

7

00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:24,269

so tuples are only using very specific

scenarios, so we will see some scenarios

9

00:00:24,269 --> 00:00:28,109

throughout the course when we build the

real-world applications, so you don't

11

00:00:28,109 --> 00:00:32,430

have to worry about understanding when

to use a tuple in programming for now.

13

00:00:32,430 --> 00:00:41,640

Anyway I want to show you the syntax, so

you can create a tuple like that.

15

00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:48,800

So tuples just like lists, they contain

they may contain different data types.

17

00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:56,340

Let's say 3 4 and so on.

Oh sorry, I was writing in the

19

00:00:56,340 --> 00:01:04,700

terminal, let me open the Python shell so

again

21

00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:11,850

we have strings numbers and floats if you like.

Whatever type that you want you can pass

23

00:01:11,850 --> 00:01:17,150

in a tuple and in a list and of course

you can use indexing for tuples as well,

25

00:01:17,150 --> 00:01:25,799

so let's access the lost item and that

will give 4.6. The difference is that you

27

00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:32,520

know tuples they have some slight

different methods than lists, so if you

29

00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:39,600

dir list, you see that lists have

much more methods available than tuples,

31

00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:46,890

so for instance you can append items to

a list, you can clear the list and copy

33

00:01:46,890 --> 00:01:54,149

and count, count is available for tuples

because count doesn't change the data type,

35

00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:58,829

so it doesn't change the tuple, it just

counts how many items are there in the tuple.

37

00:01:58,829 --> 00:02:04,259

As I said, tuples are immutable, so you

cannot change them that's why these

39

00:02:04,259 --> 00:02:09,959

methods that change the data type like

inserting new values and popping out

41

00:02:09,959 --> 00:02:14,280

values, removing

values, reversing and sorting so these

43

00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,590

are not available and yeah this is more or

less about tuples. In case you need them

45

00:02:19,590 --> 00:02:26,840

later they are there for you. Hope you're

enjoying the course and I'll talk to you later.
