To be fully honest, I am not quite sure what this question is even asking me. Any ideas??
item3 = 'item3'
my_tuple = ('I', 'love', item3)
#item3 = 'hmmm'
#my_tuple[2] = item3

3,133 PointsI think the original question was: Create a variable called item3 and assign to it the third element in my_tuple.
In this example,
my_tuple = ('I', 'love', 'python')
item3 = my_tuple[2]
if you print item3:
print(item3)
The output will be a string:
'python'
