Python - Tuple Methods

Explore Python's built-in methods for tuples. Learn how to use these methods to manipulate and interact with tuples effectively in your Python programs.



Python - Tuple Methods

Python has two built-in methods that you can use with tuples:

Method Description
count() Returns the number of times a specified value occurs in a tuple.
index() Searches the tuple for a specified value and returns the position where it was found.

Example: Using count()

Here is an example of how to use the count() method:

Example

mytuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry", "apple", "cherry", "cherry")
count_apple = mytuple.count("apple")
count_cherry = mytuple.count("cherry")
  
print(count_apple)
print(count_cherry)
Output

Example: Using index()

Here is an example of how to use the index() method:

Example

mytuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry", "apple", "cherry", "cherry")
index_banana = mytuple.index("banana")
index_cherry = mytuple.index("cherry")
  
print(index_banana)
print(index_cherry)
Output
