Syntax error Find Dissimilar Elements in Tuples in Python

Find Dissimilar Elements in Tuples in Python

When it is required to find dissimilar elements in tuples, the 'set' operator and the '^' operator can be used.

Python comes with a datatype known as 'set'. This 'set' contains elements that are unique only.

The set is useful in performing operations such as intersection, difference, union and symmetric difference.

The '^' operator is a bitwise operator that performs the 'XOR' operation. It sets every bit to 1 if only one of the two bits is 1.

Below is a demonstration of the same −

Example

Live Demo

my_tuple_1 = ((7, 8), (3, 4), (3, 2))
my_tuple_2 = ((9, 6), (8, 2), (1, 4))

print ("The first tuple is : " )
print(my_tuple_1)
print ("The second tuple is : " )
print(my_tuple_2)

my_result = tuple(set(my_tuple_1) ^ set(my_tuple_2))

print("The dissimilar elements in the tuples are : ")
print(my_result)

Output

The first tuple is :
((7, 8), (3, 4), (3, 2))
The second tuple is :
((9, 6), (8, 2), (1, 4))
The dissimilar elements in the tuples are :
((3, 4), (9, 6), (1, 4), (8, 2), (3, 2), (7, 8))

Explanation

  • Two nested tuples/tuple of tuples are defined and are displayed on the console.
  • The '^' operator is used to find the elements that are not similar to one other.
  • This result is assigned to a variable.
  • It is displayed as output on the console.
