Tuple indexing and slicing in Python - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to get the first element of the tuple.

Python

my_tuple = (10, 20, 30)
first_element = my_tuple[1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A[0]

B<0>

C{0}

D(0)

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using parentheses instead of square brackets for indexing.

Using curly braces or angle brackets which are invalid for indexing.

Use square brackets with index 0 to get the first element of a tuple.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to get the last element of the tuple using negative indexing.

Python

my_tuple = ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')
last_element = my_tuple[1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A[1]

B[-1]

C[-4]

D[0]

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using positive index 1 which gives the second element.

Using -4 which gives the first element but is less clear.

Negative indexing starts from the end. Index -1 gives the last element.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to slice the tuple from index 1 to 3 (excluding 3).

Python

my_tuple = (5, 10, 15, 20, 25)
slice_part = my_tuple[1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A{1:3}

B(1:3)

C[1,3]

D[1:3]

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using parentheses instead of square brackets for slicing.

Using comma instead of colon inside the brackets.

Use square brackets with colon to slice tuples: [start:end].

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to get a slice of the tuple from the second element to the end.

Python

my_tuple = ('x', 'y', 'z', 'w')
slice_part = my_tuple[1][2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A[1:

B1:

C]

D:]

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Forgetting the closing bracket.

Using parentheses instead of square brackets.

To slice from index 1 to the end, use [1:] with square brackets.

5fill in blank

hard

Complete the code to get every second element from the tuple starting at index 0.

Python

my_tuple = (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12)
slice_part = my_tuple[[1]]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A[

B::2

C]

D:

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Missing the closing bracket.

Using single colon instead of double colon for step.

Use [::2] to slice every second element from the start to the end.
