Python - K length Concatenate Single Valued Tuple

Python - K length Concatenate Single Valued Tuple

In this tutorial, we will learn how to concatenate a single-valued tuple for a given number of times k.

Problem Statement:

Given a single-valued tuple and an integer k, generate a new tuple by concatenating the original tuple k times.

Approach:

  1. The * operator can be used to repeat sequences in Python, including tuples.
  2. Multiply the given single-valued tuple by k to concatenate it the desired number of times.
  3. Return the new tuple.

Python Code:

def k_length_concatenate(tuple_val, k): """ Concatenate a single-valued tuple k times. :param tuple_val: Tuple - A single-valued tuple :param k: int - The number of times to concatenate the tuple :return: Tuple - The concatenated tuple """ if len(tuple_val) != 1: raise ValueError("Provided tuple is not single-valued") # Concatenate the tuple k times return tuple_val * k # Example usage: single_valued_tuple = (5,) k = 4 print(k_length_concatenate(single_valued_tuple, k)) # Output: (5, 5, 5, 5)

Explanation:

  1. First, we check if the provided tuple is single-valued. If it's not, a ValueError is raised.
  2. Then, we use the * operator to repeat the tuple k times.
  3. The concatenated tuple is returned.

This is a concise way to concatenate a single-valued tuple multiple times in Python.
