A number of built-in functions create or process
tuples.
-
len(
object
) →
integer
-
Return the number of items of a sequence or mapping.
-
max(
tuple
) →
value
-
Return its largest item in the sequence.
-
min(
tuple
) →
value
-
Return its smallest item in the sequence.
-
any(
tuple
) →
boolean
-
Return True if there exists an item in
the sequence which is True.
-
all(
tuple
) →
boolean
-
Return True if all items in the sequence
are True.
-
divmod(
x
,
y
) →
(
div
,
mod
)
-
Return the tuple ((x-x%y)/y,
x%y). Invariant: div*y + mod == x. This is the
quotient and the remainder in division.
The divmod functions is often combined with
multiple assignment. For example:
>>>
q,r= divmod(355,113)
>>>
print q,"*113+",r,"=355"
3 *113+ 16 =22
