In this tutorial, we will learn how to add two tuples in Python. Tuples are ordered, immutable sequences of elements, typically used to store related data as records, unlike lists, which are used for arbitrary collections of elements. Adding tuples means concatenating their elements to create a new tuple.

Before diving into the steps, please note that adding tuples in Python requires Python 3.x. If you haven’t installed Python 3.x or later on your system, you can download it from the official Python website.

Step 1: Create Two Tuples

First, we need to create two tuples, which we will add (concatenate) later. To create a tuple, you can use round brackets () and place elements separated by commas.

Here, we create two tuples tuple1 and tuple2:

Step 2: Add (Concatenate) the Tuples

To add the two tuples, we use the + operator. This operation concatenates the elements of both tuples into a new tuple.

Here is an example of how to add tuple1 and tuple2:

Step 3: Display the Resulting Tuple

Finally, let’s print the resulting tuple to the console, using the print() function:

Example Output

The concatenated tuple is: (1, 2, 4, 'John', 21, 'New York')

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we learned how to add (concatenate) two tuples in Python by using the + operator. You can follow the steps mentioned above to create simple or complex tuples, concatenate them, and display the results. Keep in mind that tuples are immutable, so their elements cannot be changed individually, but you can always create new tuples by combining existing ones.
