Here is the code I have, and the error.I don't understand the TUPLE problem.
Can someone explain.
The error you get is:
TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment
This tells you that tuples are immutable (fixed) objects. You cannot do
this:
>>> t = (1, 2, 3)
>>> t[1] = 42 # Change the item in place.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment
Instead, you can recreate the tuple as needed, using slicing:
>>> t = (1, 2, 3)
>>> t = t[0:1] + (42,) + t[2:] # note the comma in the middle term
>>> t
(1, 42, 3)
or you can use lists instead:
>>> t = [1, 2, 3]
>>> t[1] = 42
>>> t
[1, 42, 3]
