How to add elements in Tuple in Python

Tuples are immutable data types in Python. Hence you

• can’t add elements to a tuple because of their immutable property. There’s no append() or extend() method for tuples,
• can’t remove elements from a tuple, also because of their immutability. Tuples have no remove() or pop() method,

But there are some ways through which we can add elements in Tuple.

# sample tuple
tp = (7, 6, 2, 5, 3, 1) 
print("Initial tuple: ", tp)

# using merge of tuples with the + operator you can add an element and it will create a new tuple
tp = tp + (9,)
print("After adding 9: ", tp)

# adding items in a specific index
tp = tp[:5] + (5, 12, 7) + tp[:5]
print("Tuple now: ", tp)

#converting the tuple to list
li = list(tp) 

#use different ways to add items in list
li.append(10)
tp = tuple(li)
print("Tuple (Tuple->list->tuple): ", tp)

Output:

Initial tuple:  (7, 6, 2, 5, 3, 1)
After adding 9:  (7, 6, 2, 5, 3, 1, 9)
Tuple now:  (7, 6, 2, 5, 3, 5, 12, 7, 7, 6, 2, 5, 3)
Tuple (Tuple->list->tuple):  (7, 6, 2, 5, 3, 5, 12, 7, 7, 6, 2, 5, 3, 10)
