Add another tuple to a tuple of tuples

In Python, tuples are immutable, which means you can’t modify them in place — including adding elements directly. But that doesn’t mean you’re stuck! You can still create a new tuple by combining the existing one with the new tuple you want to add.

 Here’s how you do it:

Let’s say you have a tuple of tuples like this:

  original = ((1, 2), (3, 4))

And now you want to add another tuple (5, 6) to it. Just do this:

  new_tuple = original + ((5, 6),)

 Why double parentheses?

The extra parentheses around (5, 6), are needed to define it as a single-element tuple. Without that comma, Python just treats it as a grouped expression.

 Key points to remember:

• Tuples are immutable, so you can't use methods like append().
  
• Use + to concatenate two tuples.
  
• Always make sure the new item is wrapped in a tuple with a trailing comma.
  

 Example in action:

original = (("apple", "banana"), ("orange", "grape"))

new_item = ("kiwi", "melon")

result = original + (new_item,)

print(result)

# Output: (('apple', 'banana'), ('orange', 'grape'), ('kiwi', 'melon'))

So while you’re not technically “adding” in the traditional sense, this approach gives you the same result — a new tuple that includes all the elements you need!
