Tuples

A tuple is an ordered group that cannot change. Use it for fixed records such as a coordinate pair.

Syntax

point = (x, y)
x, y = point
  • A one-item tuple needs a trailing comma: (1,).

Example

point = (3, 4)
x, y = point
print(x)
print(y)

Output:

3
4

Common mistakes

  • Assigning to point[0] is a TypeError. Build a new tuple instead.
