You must use the [] operator on a tuple to index or slice it. If you supply a positive integer while indexing a tuple, it pulls that index from the tuple counting from the left. If the index is negative, it is retrieved from the tuple counting from the right.
Python Tuple Slicing Example:
my_tuple = ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')
print(my_tuple[1])
print(my_tuple[-1])
Output:
b
d
