Day 11: Exploring Tuples and Sets in Python

Task: Practice using tuples and sets to store and manipulate data.

Description:
In this task, you will work with tuples and sets, two important data structures in Python. Tuples are immutable and are often used to store fixed data, while sets are unordered collections of unique items.

Key Steps:

  1. Create and Access Tuples:
    • Define a tuple containing elements of your choice.
    • Access elements using indexing and slicing.
  2. Manipulate Tuples:
    • Convert a tuple to a list, modify it, and convert it back to a tuple.
  3. Work with Sets:
    • Create a set of unique numbers or strings.
    • Add and remove elements from the set.
    • Perform set operations like union, intersection, and difference.

Example:

Tuples

1
2

my_tuple = (10, 20, 30, 40)
print("Original Tuple:", my_tuple)  # Output: Original Tuple: (10, 20, 30, 40)

1. Accessing elements

1
2

print("First Element:", my_tuple[0])       # Output: First Element: 10
print("Last Element:", my_tuple[-1])       # Output: Last Element: 40

2. Convert tuple to list, modify, and convert back

2

my_list = list(my_tuple)
my_list.append(50)
my_tuple = tuple(my_list)
print("Modified Tuple:", my_tuple)         # Output: Modified Tuple: (10, 20, 30, 40, 50)

Sets

1
2

my_set = {10, 20, 30, 40}
print("Original Set:", my_set)             # Output: Original Set: {40, 10, 20, 30}

1. Add and remove elements

1
2
3

my_set.add(50)
my_set.remove(20)
print("Updated Set:", my_set)              # Output: Updated Set: {40, 10, 50, 30}

2. Set Operations

set1 = {1, 2, 3, 4}
set2 = {3, 4, 5, 6}
print("Union:", set1.union(set2))          # Output: Union: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
print("Intersection:", set1.intersection(set2)) # Output: Intersection: {3, 4}
print("Difference:", set1.difference(set2))     # Output: Difference: {1, 2}
