[BangPypers] Iterating list of tuples

[delegbede at dudupay.com]

Asif,

You can iterate over a tuple. When doing that you reference the values directly. 
From your example, data is a list containing a tuple. To check this, do this from the prompt. 
type(data)
You should get:
<Type 'list'>

That said, your mistake is
On the if line. It should read:

 if value > 5:
And not what you wrote. 

For the purpose of another time, kindly paste the error message. With this we can point you to the direction of error. 

Also, indent he print command after the else: properly. 

Your new code should read this. 

data = [
    (10, 25, 18, 17, 10, 12, 26, 5),
    ]

for value in data:
     if value > 5:
                print " greater"
    else:
                print "lesser"

Suppose I have list of tuples

data = [
    (10, 25, 18, 17, 10, 12, 26, 5),
    ]

for value in data:
     if data[value]>5:
                print " greater"
    else:
       print "lesser"

But the code giving me error so can I know how iterate list of tuples?
