Python program to access front and rear element from tuple

Method 1:

One method to extract the elements at the first and last index is by using the bracket expression as we extract in a list.

• The first element extracted as [0]
• The last element extracted as [-1]

  # Python program to access front and rear 
  # elements from tuple
  
  # Initializing and printing tuple
  intTup = (4, 1, 7, 8, 5, 3)
  print("The elements tuple are " + str(intTup))
  
  # Accessing and printing front and 
  # rear elements from the tuple 
  frontEle = intTup[0] 
  rearEle = intTup[-1]
  
  print("The front element of tuple is : " + str(frontEle))
  print("The rear element of tuple is : " + str(rearEle))

Output:

The elements tuple are (4, 1, 7, 8, 5, 3)
The front element of tuple is : 4
The rear element of tuple is : 3

Method 2:

Another method to solve the problem is by using Python's itemgetter operation from the operator library. The itemgetter returns the values at the required index from the calling collection.

# Python program to access front and rear
# elements from Tuple

import operator

# Initializing and printing tuple
intTup = (4, 1, 7, 8, 5, 3)
print("The elements tuple are " + str(intTup))

# Accessing and printing front and rear 
# elements from the tuple 
frontEle = operator.itemgetter(0)(intTup)
rearEle = operator.itemgetter(-1)(intTup)

print("The front element of tuple is : " + str(frontEle))
print("The rear element of tuple is : " + str(rearEle))

Output:

The elements tuple are (4, 1, 7, 8, 5, 3)
The front element of tuple is : 4
The rear element of tuple is : 3
