Loop Through a Tuple
You can loop through the tuple items by using a for loop.
Example
Iterate through the items and print the values:
thistuple = (“apple”, “banana”, “cherry”)
for x in thistuple:
print(x)
Output:
apple
banana
cherry

Loop Through the Index Numbers
You can also loop through the tuple items by referring to their index number.
Use the range() and len() functions to create a suitable iterable.
Example
Print all items by referring to their index number:
thistuple = (“apple”, “banana”, “cherry”)
for i in range(len(thistuple)):
print(thistuple[i])
Output:
apple
banana
cherry
Using a While Loop
You can loop through the list items by using a while loop.
Use the len() function to determine the length of the tuple, then start at 0 and loop your way through the tuple items by refering to their indexes.
Remember to increase the index by 1 after each iteration.
Example
Print all items, using a while loop to go through all the index numbers:
thistuple = (“apple”, “banana”, “cherry”)
i = 0
while i < len(thistuple):
print(thistuple[i])
i = i + 1
Output:
apple
banana
cherry
