Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID -070126)

 

Step 1

t = (1, 2, 3)

A tuple t is created with values:
(1, 2, 3)

---

🔹 Step 2

t[0] = 10

Here you are trying to change the first element of the tuple.

❗ Problem:
Tuples are immutable, meaning once created, their elements cannot be changed.

So Python raises an error:

TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment

---

🔹 Step 3

print(t)

This line is never executed because the program stops when the error occurs in the previous line.

---

✅ Final Result

The code produces an error, not output:

TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment

---

Key Concept

Data Type	Mutable?
List ([])	Yes
Tuple (())	❌ No

---

✔️ Correct Way (if you want to modify it)

Convert tuple to list, modify, then convert back:

t = (1, 2, 3)
lst = list(t)
lst[0] = 10
t = tuple(lst)
print(t)

Output:

(10, 2, 3)
