Example:

tuple = ("python", "includehelp", 43, 54.23)

Finding maximum and minimum k elements in a tuple

We have a tuple and value k. Then we will return k maximum and k minimum elements from the tuple.

Example:

Input: 
myTuple = (4, 2, 5,7, 1, 8, 9), k = 2

Output: 
(9, 8) , (1, 2)

A simple method to solve the problem is by sorting the tuple and then finding k maximum and k minimum values from the tuple by extracting k from start and k from end.

Program to find maximum and minimum k elements in a tuple in Python

# Python program to find maximum and minimum k elements in tuple 

# Creating a tuple in python 
myTuple = (4, 9, 1, 7, 3, 6, 5, 2)
K = 2

# Finding maximum and minimum k elements in tuple 
sortedColl = sorted(list(myTuple))
vals = []
for i in range(K):
    vals.append(sortedColl[i])
    
for i in range((len(sortedColl) - K), len(sortedColl)):
    vals.append(sortedColl[i])

# Printing 
print("Tuple : ", str(myTuple))
print("K maximum and minimum values : ", str(vals))

Output:

Tuple :  (4, 9, 1, 7, 3, 6, 5, 2)
K maximum and minimum values :  [1, 2, 7, 9]

Alternate method

We can use slicing methods on the sorted list created from the tuple to extract first k and last k values.

Program:

# Python program to find maximum and minimum k elements in tuple 

# Creating a tuple in python 
myTuple = (4, 9, 1, 7, 3, 6, 5, 2)
K = 2

# Finding maximum and minimum k elements in tuple 
sortedColl = sorted(list(myTuple))
vals = tuple(sortedColl[:K] + sortedColl[-K:])

# Printing 
print("Tuple : ", str(myTuple))
print("K maximum and minimum values : ", str(vals))

Output:

Tuple :  (4, 9, 1, 7, 3, 6, 5, 2)
K maximum and minimum values :  (1, 2, 7, 9)
