Introduction

The task is to find the size of tuple i.e. the memory size (in bytes) occupied by the tuple objects.

Program

Approach 1

import sys 
ip_tuple1 = ('Demo 1', 1 ,'Demo 2', 2, "Demo 3", 3)
ip_tuple2 = ((1, "Ram"), (2, "Sita"), (3, "Gita"), (4, "Raj"))
# Using getsizeof()
print("The size of given tuple is : "+ str(sys.getsizeof(ip_tuple1)) + "bytes")
print("The size of given tuple is : "+ str(sys.getsizeof(ip_tuple2)) + "bytes")

Output:

Approach 2

ip_tuple1 = ('Demo 1', 1 ,'Demo 2', 2, "Demo 3", 3)
ip_tuple2 = ((1, "Ram"), (2, "Sita"), (3, "Gita"), (4, "Raj"))
# Using _sizeof_()
print("The size of given tuple is : "+ str(ip_tuple1._sizeof_()) + "bytes")
print("The size of given tuple is : "+ str(ip_tuple2._sizeof_()) + "bytes")

Output

Explanation

In the above python code, we have created two tuples with some entries. In approach 1 we have used getsizeof() function on both the input tuples to calculate the size of tuple whereas in approach 2 we have used _sizeof_() function.

From output we can observe that the calculated size returned by getsizeof() function is greater than that of the size returned by _sizeof_() function. The reason is getsizeof() function returns the output including the garbage collector overhead memory.
