Tuples

Tuples are immutable sequences, typically used to store collections of heterogeneous data

Tuples may be constructed in a number of ways:

• Using a pair of parentheses to denote the empty tuple: ()
• Using a trailing comma for a singleton tuple: a, or (a,)
• Separating items with commas: a, b, c or (a, b, c)
• Using the tuple() built-in: tuple() or tuple(iterable)

Examples

1. Input:

x=tuple('abc')  
print(x)

Output: ('a', 'b', 'c')

2. Input:

 y=tuple( [1, 2, 3] )  
 print(y)

Output: (1, 2, 3)

3. Input:

             z=tuple()  
             print(z)

Output: ()

Note: It is actually the comma which makes a tuple, not the parentheses. The parentheses are optional, except in the empty tuple case, or when they are needed to avoid syntactic ambiguity.
