Python – Check if element is present in tuple

Report

We are given a tuple and our task is to find whether given element is present in tuple or not. For example x = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and we need to find if 3 is present in tuple so that in this case resultant output should be True.

Using in Operator

in operator checks if an element is present in a tuple by iterating through its items. It returns True if the element is found and False otherwise making it a simple and efficient membership check.

Python
x = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)  # Check if the element '3' is present in the tuple res = 3 in x   print(res)   

Output
True 

Explanation:

  • in operator checks if the element 3 is present in tuple x.
  • If element is found it returns True; otherwise it returns False

Using index()

index() method returns the position of the first occurrence of an element in a tuple. If the element is not found it raises a ValueError so it’s often used with exception handling.

Python
t = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)  try:     index = t.index(3)      res = True  # If '3' is found except ValueError:     res = False  # If '3' is not found  print(res)  

Output
True 

Explanation:

  • t.index(3) searches for the element 3 in the tuple t and returns its index if found.
  • If element is not found a ValueError is raised which is caught to set result to False.

Using a Loop

Using a loop we can iterate through each element of the tuple to check for a match. If target element is found we return True otherwise we return False after checking all elements.

Python
t = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)   ele = 3   res = False   for item in t:       # Check if the current element matches     if item == ele:            res = True           break   print(res)   

Output
True 

Explanation:

  • Loop checks each element in the tuple for equality with ele. If a match is found res is set to True.
  • Break statement stops further iteration once the element is found improving efficiency.
