Python Program to Concatenate Two Tuples

Introduction

Tuples in Python are immutable sequences, meaning that they cannot be changed once created. However, you can concatenate (join) two or more tuples to form a new tuple. This operation is useful when you need to combine data from different tuples into a single tuple. This tutorial will guide you through creating a Python program that concatenates two tuples.

Example:

Input Tuple 1: ('apple', 'banana', 'cherry')
Input Tuple 2: ('date', 'elderberry', 'fig')
Output Tuple: ('apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date', 'elderberry', 'fig')

Problem Statement

Create a Python program that:

Takes two tuples as input.
Concatenates the tuples into a single tuple.
Displays the concatenated tuple.

Solution Steps

Create Two Tuples: Initialize two tuples with some elements.
Concatenate the Tuples: Use the + operator to join the two tuples.
Display the Concatenated Tuple: Use the print() function to display the resulting tuple.

Python Program

# Python Program to Concatenate Two Tuples
# Author: https://www.rameshfadatare.com/

# Step 1: Create two tuples with elements
tuple1 = ('apple', 'banana', 'cherry')
tuple2 = ('date', 'elderberry', 'fig')

# Step 2: Concatenate the tuples using the + operator
concatenated_tuple = tuple1 + tuple2

# Step 3: Display the concatenated tuple
print("The concatenated tuple is:", concatenated_tuple)

Explanation

Step 1: Create Two Tuples with Elements

Two tuples, tuple1 and tuple2, are created with elements: ('apple', 'banana', 'cherry') and ('date', 'elderberry', 'fig'), respectively. Tuples are defined using parentheses ().

Step 2: Concatenate the Tuples Using the + Operator

The + operator is used to concatenate tuple1 and tuple2 into a new tuple called concatenated_tuple. The resulting tuple contains all elements from both tuples in the order they were concatenated.

Step 3: Display the Concatenated Tuple

The print() function is used to display the concatenated tuple.

Output Example

Example Output:

The concatenated tuple is: ('apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date', 'elderberry', 'fig')

Additional Examples

Example 1: Concatenating Numeric Tuples

# Numeric tuples
tuple1 = (1, 2, 3)
tuple2 = (4, 5, 6)

concatenated_tuple = tuple1 + tuple2
print("The concatenated numeric tuple is:", concatenated_tuple)

Output:

The concatenated numeric tuple is: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Example 2: Concatenating Mixed-Type Tuples

# Mixed-type tuples
tuple1 = ('apple', 2, 3.5)
tuple2 = ('banana', 5, 7.8)

concatenated_tuple = tuple1 + tuple2
print("The concatenated mixed-type tuple is:", concatenated_tuple)
