Tuple Division in Python

Last Updated : 26 Nov, 2019

Sometimes, while working with records, we can have a problem in which we may need to perform mathematical division operation across tuples. This problem can occur in day-day programming. Let’s discuss certain ways in which this task can be performed.

Method #1 : Using zip() + generator expression
The combination of above functions can be used to perform this task. In this, we perform the task of division using generator expression and mapping index of each tuple is done by zip().

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of  
# Tuple division 
# using zip() + generator expression  
  
# initialize tuples  
test_tup1 = (10, 4, 6, 9)  
test_tup2 = (5, 2, 3, 3)  
  
# printing original tuples  
print("The original tuple 1 : " + str(test_tup1))  
print("The original tuple 2 : " + str(test_tup2))  
  
# Tuple division  
# using zip() + generator expression  
res = tuple(ele1 // ele2 for ele1, ele2 in zip(test_tup1, test_tup2))  
  
# printing result  
print("The divided tuple : " + str(res))  

Output :

The original tuple 1 : (10, 4, 6, 9)
The original tuple 2 : (5, 2, 3, 3)
The divided tuple : (2, 2, 2, 3)

Method #2 : Using map() + floordiv
The combination of above functionalities can also perform this task. In this, we perform the task of extending logic of division using floordiv and mapping is done by map().

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of  
# Tuple division  
# using map() + floordiv  
from operator import floordiv 
  
# initialize tuples  
test_tup1 = (10, 4, 6, 9)  
test_tup2 = (5, 2, 3, 3)  
  
# printing original tuples  
print("The original tuple 1 : " + str(test_tup1))  
print("The original tuple 2 : " + str(test_tup2))  
  
# Tuple division 
# using map() + floordiv  
res = tuple(map(floordiv, test_tup1, test_tup2))  
  
# printing result  
print("The divided tuple : " + str(res)) 

Output :

The original tuple 1 : (10, 4, 6, 9)
The original tuple 2 : (5, 2, 3, 3)
The divided tuple : (2, 2, 2, 3)
