Python Loop Tuple Items

Loop Tuple Items

Use for loop statement to iterate the tuple items in python.

Example

colors_tuple = ("Red", "Blue", "Green")
for color in colors_tuple:
    print(color)

Red
Blue
Green

In the above example, we are iterating the colors_tuple by using the for loop statement and printing the items from the tuple.

Loop Tuple Items Using Index Numbers

You can also fetch tuple items by referring its the index number while iterating the loop.

Example

colors_tuple = ("Red", "Blue", "Green")
for i in range(len(colors_tuple)):
    print(colors_tuple[i])

Red
Blue
Green

For the iteration of for loop, we used range() and len() methods. Here range() function represents an immutable sequence of numbers, and len() returns the number of items in the tuple.

This example creates an iterable with values of [0, 1, 2].

Loop Tuple Items Using While

You can also use the while loop statement to iterate the tuple items in python.

While iterating the tuple items using the while loop, use the len() function to determine the number of items in the tuple, then start loop iteration from 0 using temporary variable declarations and increment that variable by 1 for each iteration.

Example

colors_tuple = ("Red", "Blue", "Green")
i = 0
while i < len(colors_tuple):
    print(colors_tuple[i])
    i = i + 1

Red
Blue
Green

In the above example, we are iterating the colors_tuple by using the while loop statement and printing the items from the tuple.
