Modifying a Tuple - An Interesting Trick!

Suppose we have entered the values of a tuple's elements incorrectly or, within the program, we simply need modifications. The object is inherently immutable, so we will use a trick – explicit conversion.

Analyze the code below:

double_arrow Execute  hourglass_top Execute

clear    cached    undo    redo

Console/Output

done

error_outline

clear

Mind the syntax!

Step 1. Lists are mutable objects, so we create one named temp that contains all the elements of the tuple pers1.



Step 2. Thus, we can rewrite the element at the second position in the temp list accordingly.

Step 3. Now that everything is correct and as we wanted, we store the data in the pers1 variable, explicitly converting the temp list to a tuple using its constructor.

Done, we're finished!
