Why Loop Through Tuples?

Tuples are ordered collections, so you can loop through them just like lists to access, display, or process each element.

Python provides multiple ways to loop through tuples using:

• for loop
• for loop with range()
• while loop
• enumerate()

1. Using a Simple for Loop

Example:

colors = ("red", "green", "blue")
for color in colors:
   print(color)

Output:

red
green
blue

2. Using for Loop with range() and Indexing

This method is helpful when you also need the index of each item.

Example:

colors = ("red", "green", "blue")
for i in range(len(colors)):
   print(f"Index {i}: {colors[i]}")

Output:

Index 0: red
Index 1: green
Index 2: blue

3. Using while Loop

You can use a while loop with a counter to access each item by index.

Example:

colors = ("red", "green", "blue")
i = 0
while i < len(colors):
   print(colors[i])
   i += 1

Output:

red
green
blue

4. Using enumerate() to Get Index and Value

enumerate() lets you loop over a tuple and get both the index and the value at the same time.

Example:

colors = ("red", "green", "blue")
for index, value in enumerate(colors):
   print(f"{index}: {value}")

Output:

0: red
1: green
2: blue

5. Looping Over Nested Tuples

When your tuple contains sub-tuples, you can use tuple unpacking while looping.

Example:

students = (("Alice", 85), ("Bob", 90), ("Charlie", 78))
for name, marks in students:
   print(f"{name} scored {marks}")

Output:

Alice scored 85
Bob scored 90
Charlie scored 78
