I am striving to convert a string to a tuple without splitting the characters of the string in the process. Can somebody suggest an easy method to do this. Need a one liner.
Fails
a = 'Quattro TT' print tuple(a) Works
a = ['Quattro TT'] print tuple(a) Since my input is a string, I tried the code below by converting the string to a list, which again splits the string into characters ..
Fails
a = 'Quattro TT' print tuple(list(a)) Expected Output:
('Quattro TT') Generated Output:
('Q', 'u', 'a', 't', 't', 'r', 'o', ' ', 'T', 'T')

When it is required to convert a string into a tuple, the 'map' method, the 'tuple' method, the 'int' method, and the 'split' method can be used. The map function applies a given function/operation to every item in an iterable (such as list, tuple). It returns a list as the result.
Python's built-in function tuple() converts any sequence object to tuple. If it is a string, each character is treated as a string and inserted in tuple separated by commas.
One of these methods uses split() function while other methods convert the string into a list without split() function. Python list has a constructor which accepts an iterable as argument and returns a list whose elements are the elements of iterable. An iterable is a structure that can be iterated.
You can just do (a,). No need to use a function. (Note that the comma is necessary.)
Essentially, tuple(a) means to make a tuple of the contents of a, not a tuple consisting of just a itself. The "contents" of a string (what you get when you iterate over it) are its characters, which is why it is split into characters.
