len/min/max/sum for tuples

aggregation

The built-in functions work with tuples exactly as they do with lists.

Syntax

len(t)  |  min(t)  |  max(t)  |  sum(t)

len on a tuple is O(1) because the length is stored, whereas min, max and sum each walk every element, so calling them one after another means several passes over the same data. On an empty tuple sum quietly returns 0, but min and max raise ValueError.

Examples

t = (3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6)
print(len(t))
# → 8
print(min(t))
# → 1
print(max(t))
# → 9
print(sum(t))
# → 31
