In this article, we will discuss different ways to iterate the list of tuples in Python.

It can be done in these ways:

  • Using Loop.
  • Using enumerate().

Method 1: Using Loop

Here we are going to form a list of tuples using for loop.

Python3




# create a list of tuples with student
# details
name = [('sravan',7058,98.45),
        ('ojaswi',7059,90.67),
        ('bobby',7060,78.90),
        ('rohith',7081,67.89),
        ('gnanesh',7084,98.01)]
 
# iterate using for loop
for x in name:
   
  # iterate in each tuple element
  for y in x:
      print(y)
       
  print()


Output:

sravan
7058
98.45

ojaswi
7059
90.67

bobby
7060
78.9

rohith
7081
67.89

gnanesh
7084
98.01

Method 2: Using enumerate()

Here we are going to use enumerate() function to Iterate the list of tuples. A lot of times when dealing with iterators, we also get a need to keep a count of iterations. Python eases the programmers’ task by providing a built-in function enumerate() for this task. Enumerate() method adds a counter to an iterable and returns it in a form of enumerate object. This enumerate object can then be used directly in for loops or be converted into a list of tuples using list() method. 

Syntax: enumerate(iterable, start=0)

Parameters:

  • Iterable: any object that supports iteration
  • Start: the index value from which the counter is to be started, by default it is 0

Python3




# create a list of tuples with student
# details
name = [('sravan',7058,98.45),
        ('ojaswi',7059,90.67),
        ('bobby',7060,78.90),
        ('rohith',7081,67.89),
        ('gnanesh',7084,98.01)]
l = []
 
# iterate using index with enumerate function
for index, tuple in enumerate(name):
       
    # access through index
      # by appending to list
    l.append(name[index])
     
# iterate through the list
for x in l:
    for y in x:
       print(y)
    print()


Output:

sravan
7058
98.45

ojaswi
7059
90.67

bobby
7060
78.9

rohith
7081
67.89

gnanesh
7084
98.01
