While working with tuples many times we need to find the length of the tuple, and, instead of counting the number of elements with loops, we can also use Python len(). We will learn about the len() method used for tuples in Python.
Example:
Python3
Tuple =( 1, 0, 4, 2, 5, 6, 7, 5)print(len(Tuple)) |
Output :
8
Python tuple len() Method Syntax
Syntax: len(object)
Parameters:
- object: Any iterable like Tuple, List, etc.
Return type: the number of elements in the tuple.
Tuple len() in Python Examples
Empty Tuple
Here we are declaring an empty tuple and printing its length in Python.
Python3
empty_tuple = ()length = len(empty_tuple)print(length) |
Output :
0
Tuple of Integers
Here we are finding the length of a particular tuple.
Python3
# Creating tuplesTuple = (1, 3, 4, 2, 5, 6)res = len(Tuple)print('Length of Tuple is', res) |
Output :
Length of Tuple is 6
Tuple of Strings
Here we are finding the number of elements of the tuple that constitutes string elements.
Python3
# Creating tuplesTuple = ("Geeks", "For", "Geeks", "GeeksForGeeks")res = len(Tuple)print('Length of Tuple is', res) |
Output :
Length of Tuple is 4
Get the Length of the Nested Tuple
In this example, we have used created a tuple that consists of multiple tuples.
Python3
# alphabets tuplealphabets = (('G', 'F', 'G'), ('g', 'f', 'g'), ('g', 'F', 'g'), 'GfG', 'Gfg')res = len(alphabets)print('Length of Tuple is', res)res_nested = len(alphabets[0])print('Length of nested tuple is', res_nested) |
Output :
Length of Tuple is 5 Length of nested tuple is 3
Tuple with Mixed DataTypes
In this example, we have used multiple types of data in the tuple.
Python3
mixed_tuple = ('apple', 3, True, 2.5)length = len(mixed_tuple)print(length) |
Output :
4
