What Tuple is
A tuple is a sequence of immutable Python objects. It is an ordered collection of elements which can contain multiple data types, such as integers, floats, strings, booleans, etc. Tuples are typically used to store related pieces of information.
Steps for creating a Tuple
- Begin the tuple definition with an open parenthesis.
- Place the elements that you want to include in the tuple.
- Separate each element with a comma.
- End the tuple definition with a closing parenthesis.
- Optionally, assign the tuple to a variable.
Example:
tuple_example = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Examples
- Tuples are used in linear regression to determine the coefficients of the equation.
- Tuples are used in calculating the mean and variance of a set of data.
- Tuples are used in computing the covariance of two sets of data.
- Tuples are used in constructing a contingency table to analyze the relationship between two categorical variables.
- Tuples are used in calculating the correlation coefficient between two sets of data.
