Remove an element from a tuple in Python
Write a Python program to remove an element from a tuple, without using lists. Since tuples in Python are immutable, you cannot remove elements from them directly.
aTuple = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) # To remove the 3rd element i.e. 3 aTuple = aTuple[:2] + aTuple[3:] print(aTuple) # (1, 2, 4, 5) # Another method, using lists, which I asked you not to use operates the following way: aTuple = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) aList = list((1, 2, 3, 4, 5)) del aList[2] # remove element at index 2; you can also use aList.remove(3) which removes element by value rather than index aTuple = tuple(aList) print(aTuple) (1, 2, 4, 5)
