# [[Python Tuples Update]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
Tuples have no native way to change, add, or remove items — every workaround converts to a list, mutates, and converts back, EXCEPT adding an entire tuple, which the `+=` operator supports directly. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **Immutability** — tuples cannot be changed once created. [S1]
- **Change workaround** — convert to list, modify, convert back to tuple. [S1]
- **Add workaround (via list)** — convert to list, `append()`, convert back. [S1]
- **Add workaround (via tuple concatenation)** — `thistuple += ("orange",)` directly adds another tuple — no list conversion needed. [S1]
- **Remove workaround** — convert to list, `remove()`, convert back. [S1]
- **Delete entirely** — `del thistuple` removes the variable completely (subsequent use raises an error). [S1]

## 🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)
- **Concatenation is the one native "mutation"** — while individual item changes need the list round-trip, adding a whole new tuple via `+=` works natively because it creates a brand-new tuple object rather than mutating the existing one. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Change via list round-trip: `x = ("apple","banana","cherry"); y = list(x); y[1] = "kiwi"; x = tuple(y)`. [S1]
- Add via list round-trip: `y = list(thistuple); y.append("orange"); thistuple = tuple(y)`. [S1]
- Add via tuple concatenation: `y = ("orange",); thistuple += y`. [S1]
- Remove via list round-trip: `y = list(thistuple); y.remove("apple"); thistuple = tuple(y)`. [S1]
- Delete entirely: `del thistuple`. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
소스에서 모순되는 정보는 발견되지 않음.

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — 리스트 변환 왕복은 튜플을 "임시로 가변화"하는 표준 회피책이다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Add a single item via tuple concatenation (Python):
```python
thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
y = ("orange",)  # comma required for single-item tuple
thistuple += y
print(thistuple)
```

## ✅ 검증 상태 및 신뢰도
- **상태:** draft
- **검증 단계:** conceptual
- **출처 신뢰도:** B (W3Schools — widely used educational reference, not a primary standards body)
- **신뢰 점수:** 0.90
- **중복 검사 결과:** 신규 생성 (New discovery)

## 🔗 지식 그래프 (Knowledge Graph)
- **상위/루트:** [[Python Tutorial]]
- **관련 개념:** [[Python Tuples]], [[Python Lists]], [[Python Tuples Join]]
- **참조 맥락:** 튜플 불변성의 실무적 한계를 우회하는 표준 패턴.
