Python Empty Tuple

Python Empty Tuple

You can create an empty tuple in Python in two ways. The first one providing no elements in the parenthesis, and the second is providing no iterable to the tuple() builtin function.

You can check if the Tuple is empty or not by finding its length. Length of an empty tuple is zero.

1. Create empty Tuple using parenthesis

In the following example, we will create an empty tuple using opening and closing parenthesis with no items in it.

x = ()
print(x)

2. Create empty Tuple using tuple()

tuple() is a builtin function that creates tuple from an iterable. If you provide nothing to this function, it returns an empty tuple.

x = tuple()
print(x)

3. Check if Tuple is Empty

You can check if the created tuple is empty using len() function. len() builtin function, with the tuple as argument, returns length of the tuple. If the length is zero, then then tuple is empty. Else not.

x = ()

if len(x) == 0:
    print('Tuple is empty.')

Output

Tuple is empty.
