The code provided below is intended to swap the first and last elements of a given tuple. However, there are syntax and logical errors in the code. Rewrite it after removing all errors. Underline all the corrections made.
def swap_first_last(tup)
if len(tup) < 2:
return tup
new_tup = (tup[-1],) + tup[1:-1] + (tup[0])
return new_tup
result = swap_first_last((1, 2, 3, 4))
print("Swapped tuple: " result)

Answer
def swap_first_last(tup) # Error 1
if len(tup) < 2:
return tup # Error 2
new_tup = (tup[-1],) + tup[1:-1] + (tup[0]) # Error 3
return new_tup
result = swap_first_last((1, 2, 3, 4))
print("Swapped tuple: " result) # Error 4
Error 1 — The function header is missing a colon (:) at the end, which is required to define a function in Python.
Error 2 — The return
statement needs to be indented because it is the part of the if
block.
Error 3 — Comma should be added after tup[0]
to ensure it is treated as a tuple. Without the comma, (tup[0])
is treated as an integer.
Error 4 — Comma should be added in the print statement to properly separate the string from the variable.
The corrected code is:
def swap_first_last(tup):
if len(tup) < 2:
return tup
new_tup = (tup[-1],) + tup[1:-1] + (tup[0],)
return new_tup
result = swap_first_last((1, 2, 3, 4))
print("Swapped tuple: ", result)
