Python -Loop Tuples
Loop Through a Tuple
You can loop through the tuple items by using afor loop.
Example
Iterate through the items and print the values:
thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
for x in thistuple:
print(x)
Try it Yourself »for x in thistuple:
print(x)
Learn more aboutfor loops in ourPython For Loops Chapter.
Loop Through the Index Numbers
You can also loop through the tuple items by referring to their index number.
Use therange() andlen() functions to create a suitable iterable.
Example
Print all items by referring to their index number:
thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
for i in range(len(thistuple)):
print(thistuple[i])
Try it Yourself »for i in range(len(thistuple)):
print(thistuple[i])
Using a While Loop
You can loop through the tuple items by using awhile loop.
Use thelen() function to determine the length of the tuple,then start at 0 and loop your way through the tuple items by referring to their indexes.
Remember to increase the index by 1 after each iteration.
Example
Print all items, using awhile loop to go through all the index numbers:
thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
i = 0
while i < len(thistuple):
print(thistuple[i])
i = i + 1
Try it Yourself »i = 0
while i < len(thistuple):
print(thistuple[i])
i = i + 1
