The tuple element can also access by using negative indexing. The index of -1 denotes the rightmost element and -2 to the second last item and so on.
thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry", "apple", "cherry")
print(thistuple[0])
apple
print(thistuple[2])
cherry
print(thistuple[-1])
cherry
print(thistuple[2:5])
('cherry', 'apple', 'cherry')
print(thistuple[:])
('apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'apple', 'cherry')
Note: we cannot not modify tuple.. we need to convert from tuple to list
l=list(thistuple)
print(l)
['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'apple', 'cherry']
l.append("orange")
print(l)
['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'apple', 'cherry', 'orange']
l.append(["jackfrutit","sunny"])
print(l)
['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'apple', 'cherry', 'orange', ['jackfrutit', 'sunny']]
thistuple=tuple(l)
print(thistuple)
('apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'apple', 'cherry', 'orange', ['jackfrutit', 'sunny'])
print(type(thistuple))
<class 'tuple'>
==================================================================
tuple1=(1,2,3,4,5)
print("#example for negative indexing")
print(tuple1[-1])
print(tuple1[-4])
print(tuple1[-3:-1])
print(tuple1[:-1])
print(tuple1[-2:])
Output:
#example for negative indexing
5
2
(3, 4)
(1, 2, 3, 4)
(4, 5)
