Given a tuple, the task is to divide it into smaller groups of n. Let’s discuss a few methods to accomplish a given task.
Method #1: Using enumerate and range function
Python3
# Python code to demonstrate # how to split tuple # into the group of k-tuples # initialising tuple ini_tuple = ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 8 , 12 , 3 , 34 , 67 , 45 , 1 , 1 , 43 , 65 , 9 , 10 ) # printing initial tuple print ("initial list ", str (ini_tuple)) # code to group # tuple into size 4 tuples res = tuple (ini_tuple[x:x + 4 ] for x in range ( 0 , len (ini_tuple), 4 )) # printing result print ("resultant tuples", str (res)) |
Output:
initial list (1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 3, 34, 67, 45, 1, 1, 43, 65, 9, 10) resultant tuples ((1, 2, 3, 4), (8, 12, 3, 34), (67, 45, 1, 1), (43, 65, 9, 10))
Method #2: Using enumerate and mod operator
Python3
# Python code to demonstrate # how to split tuple # into the group of k-tuples # initialising tuple ini_tuple = ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 8 , 12 , 3 , 34 , 67 , 45 , 1 , 1 , 43 , 65 , 9 , 10 ) # printing initial tuple print ("initial list ", str (ini_tuple)) # code to group # tuple into size 4 tuples res = tuple (ini_tuple[n:n + 4 ] for n, i in enumerate (ini_tuple) if n % 4 = = 0 ) # printing result print ("resultant tuples", str (res)) |
Output:
initial list (1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 3, 34, 67, 45, 1, 1, 43, 65, 9, 10) resultant tuples ((1, 2, 3, 4), (8, 12, 3, 34), (67, 45, 1, 1), (43, 65, 9, 10))
Method #3: Using itertools recipes
Python3
# Python code to demonstrate # how to split tuple # into the group of k-tuples # function to group tuple into groups of 4 def grouper(n, iterable): args = [ iter (iterable)] * n return zip ( * args) # initialising tuple ini_tuple = ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 8 , 12 , 3 , 34 , 67 , 45 , 1 , 1 , 43 , 65 , 9 , 10 ) # printing initial tuple print ("initial list ", str (ini_tuple)) # code to group # tuple into size 4 tuples res = tuple (grouper( 4 , ini_tuple)) # printing result print ("resultant tuples", str (res)) |
Output:
initial list (1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 3, 34, 67, 45, 1, 1, 43, 65, 9, 10) resultant tuples ((1, 2, 3, 4), (8, 12, 3, 34), (67, 45, 1, 1), (43, 65, 9, 10))
Method #4: Using zip
Here is another approach using the zip function:
Python3
# initializing tuple ini_tuple = ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 8 , 12 , 3 , 34 , 67 , 45 , 1 , 1 , 43 , 65 , 9 , 10 ) # printing initial tuple print ( "initial list" , str (ini_tuple)) # code to group tuple into groups of 4 res = tuple ( zip ( * [ iter (ini_tuple)] * 4 )) # printing result print ( "resultant tuples" , str (res)) |
initial list (1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 3, 34, 67, 45, 1, 1, 43, 65, 9, 10) resultant tuples ((1, 2, 3, 4), (8, 12, 3, 34), (67, 45, 1, 1), (43, 65, 9, 10))
Time complexity: O(n)
Auxiliary Space: O(n)
