Struggling on Tuples

[Mystix]

Hello, I am brand new to python and I am highly willing to learn it. The problem is that I've been set homework on Tuples and I feel I've not been prepared well enough for it. Generally struggling to take any new information in this pandemic and I spent hours researching information and I still feel clueless.

The code at hand is here:

def string_fun(string):
    '''
    Return a tuple with three elements.
    The first element is True if the string contains only alphabet characters, otherwise False.
    The second element is True if the string ends with an exclamation mark ('!'), otherwise False.
    The third element is the string with all spaces (' ') replaced with hyphens ('-').
    Arguments
    string: a string
    Examples
    string_fun('Hello World!') returns (False, True, 'Hello-World!')
    string_fun('ThisIsAChallenge') returns (True, False, 'ThisIsAChallenge')
    '''

    # ====================================
    # Do not change the code before this

    # CODE1: Write code that will assign details with the appropriate tuple

    

    # ====================================
    # Do not change the code after this

    return details


if __name__ == '__main__':
    print(string_fun('Hello World!'))
    print(string_fun('ThisIsAChallenge'))

------------------------------------------------

From my interpretation of Code 1, I tried

    details = (True, False, '-')

    for alpha in details:
        if string_fun.isalpha():
            print(details[0])
        else:
            print(details[1])

    for symbol in details:
        if string_fun.endswith('!'):
            print(details[0])
        else:
            print(details[1])

Once I submit my answers it does not tell me if I am on the right track. It either says correct or wrong since it's marked by a computer and not a person. I'd like to know what to do because I feel clueless and also what is the correct code for this. P.S I am missing code for the final element which is replacing a space in the string with the hyphen element.

Please, use proper tags when post code, traceback, output, etc. This time I have added tags for you.
See BBcode help for more info.

Why so complicated?

1. The first element is True if the string contains only alphabet characters, otherwise False.
   Use: str.isalpha
   
2. The second element is True if the string ends with an exclamation mark ('!'), otherwise False.
   Use: str.endswith
   
3. The third element is the string with all spaces (' ') replaced with hyphens ('-').
   Use: str.replace
   

It's a simple assignment and afterwards you have everything, you create the final tuple.

    alpha = string.isalpha()
    exclamation = string.endswith("!")
    text = string.replace(" ", "-")
    details = (alpha, exclamation, text)

Thank you, I wasn't aware you could use tuples in that way and I understand it a little bit more now. The answer you provided came correct.

A tuple is just a fancy word for a collection of items that can't be changed once it's created. Like a cardboard box, with stuff in it, that you tape shut.
