Slice tuple Python | Example code

  • by

Use the [] operator on the tuple to Slice the tuple in Python. If using a positive number, it slices that index from the tuple counting from the left. Or if it’s a negative number, it fetches that index from the tuple counting from the right.

If you want to get a part of the tuple, use the slicing operator.

 [start:stop:step]. 

Read: Slice notation

Example Slice tuple Python

Simple example code.

If we don’t mention the start value the range by default starts from the first term.

my_tuple = ('A', 'B', 'C', 'D')

print(my_tuple[1])

print(my_tuple[-1])

Output:

Slice tuple Python

Ues tuple[start:stop] the start index is inclusive and the stop index

my_tuple = ('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E')

res = my_tuple[3:5]

print(res)

Output: (‘D’, ‘E’)

If the stop value is not used then the range by default ends at the last term.

my_tuple = ('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E')

res = my_tuple[1:]

print(res)

Output: (‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’, ‘E’)
