Python - Access Tuple Items

You can access tuple items by referring to the index number, inside square brackets:

Print the second item in the tuple:

The first item has index 0.

Negative indexing means start from the end. -1 refers to the last item, -2 refers to the second last item etc.

Print the last item of the tuple:

You can specify a range of indexes by specifying where to start and where to end the range.

Return the third, fourth, and fifth item:

The search will start at index 2 (included) and end at index 5 (not included). Remember that the first item has index 0. By leaving out the start value, the range will start at the first item:

This example returns the items from the beginning to, but NOT included, "kiwi":

By leaving out the end value, the range will go on to the end of the tuple:

This example returns the items from "cherry" and to the end:

Specify negative indexes if you want to start the search from the end of the tuple:

To determine if a specified item is present in a tuple use the in keyword:

Check if "apple" is present in the tuple:
