Thanks Matthew
Just wanted to know
x.count('l') -> 2 Here 2 means what I didnot understood this
and also does x is a object and capitalize(), swapcase() and
count('l') are methods, is that correct what i understand

[Tutor] Tuples
Hi All I am referring to http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/chap09.htm I did not understood the below Section at all :( 9.3 Tuples as return values Functions can return tuples as return values. For example, we could write a function that swaps two parameters: def swap(x, y): return y, x Then we can assign the return value to a tuple with two variables: a, b = swap(a, b) In this case, there is no great advantage in making swap a function. In fact, there is a danger in trying to encapsulate swap, which is the following tempting mistake: def swap(x, y): # incorrect version x, y = y, x If we call this function like this: swap(a, b) then a and x are aliases for the same value. Changing xinside swap makes x refer to a different value, but it has no effect on a in __main__. Similarly, changing y has no effect on b. This function runs without producing an error message, but it doesn't do what we intended. This is an example of a semantic error. As an exercise, draw a state diagram for this function so that you can see why it doesn't work.

[Tutor] Tuple
Hi All
I am referring to http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/chap09.htm
>>> tuple = ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e')
>>> tuple[0]
'a'
And the slice operator selects a range of elements.
>>> tuple[1:3]
('b', 'c')
But if we try to modify one of the elements of the tuple, we get a error:
>>> tuple[0] = 'A'
TypeError: object doesn't support item assignment
Of course, even if we can't modify the elements of a tuple, we can
replace it with a different tuple:
>>> tuple = ('A',) + tuple[1:]
>>> tuple
('A', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e')
How does tuple = ('A',) + tuple[1:] this work
Please explain me with an example
