In Python, tuples can be compared using relational operators. The comparison starts from the first element of each tuple. If they are not equal, it will return based on their values. However, if they are equal, it moves to the next elements and so forth until it finds unequal elements or exhausts all elements.
For example:
tuple1 = (123, 'xyz')
tuple2 = (456, 'abc')
print(tuple1 < tuple2) # Returns True because 123 is less than 456
If tuples have different lengths but initial elements are identical, the longer tuple is considered larger. For instance:
tuple3 = (123, 'xyz', 'zara')
print(tuple1 < tuple3) # Returns True as tuple3 is longer
It’s important to note that comparison between different data types isn’t allowed in Python 3.x.
