Reverse each tuple in a list of tuples in Python

Last Updated : December 11, 2025

Tuples in Python are a collection of elements in a round bracket() or not but separated by commas. Tuples are similar to list in some operations like indexing, concatenation, etc. but lists are mutable whereas tuples are immutable acts like a string. Here, a list of tuples will be given by the user and we have to reverse each tuple in Python.

For example, list of tuple A=[(9,0), (2,5), (4,6), (7,1), (1,5)] is given by the user and we have to return it like [(0,9), (5,2), (6,4), (1,7), (5,1)] which have reverse of each tuples of list.

We are going to solve this problem with two approaches, the first one is by using the slicing property and another one is by using the predefined reversed() function of Python language. So, let's start simply writing the program.

By using the slicing property

In Python, you can reverse each tuple in a list of tuples by using the slicing property. The slicing syntax [::-1] allows you to reverse the order of elements in a tuple efficiently without modifying the original tuple.

Example

In the following example, we are reversing the elements of each tuple in a list using the slicing property.

#suppose a list of tuples provided by the user is A.

A=[(4,5), (4,6), (6,9), (3,6),(12,0), (6,7)]
B=[k[::-1] for k in A]

print('List of reversed tuples:',B)

Output

List of reversed tuples: [(5, 4), (6, 4), (9, 6), (6, 3), (0, 12), (7, 6)]

In Python, [::-1] used to reversed list, string, etc.

By using the reversed() function of Python

The reversed() function used to reverse a list, string, etc. in Python. It acts like the above slicing property.

Example

In the following example, we are reversing each tuple in a list of tuples using the reversed() function inside a list comprehension and then printing the resulting list.

#suppose the same input of the above program.

A=[(4,5), (4,6), (6,9), (3,6),(12,0), (6,7)]

B=[tuple(reversed(k)) for k in A]

print('List of reversed tuples:',B)

Output

List of reversed tuples: [(5, 4), (6, 4), (9, 6), (6, 3), (0, 12), (7, 6)]
