The namedtuple in Python performs various operations. The following is a list of some of the most common operations performed by the namedtuple. The elements in a namedtuple can be accessed by their indices, unlike a dictionary. The alternative way to access the elements is by their key name. The make() function returns a namedtuple. The _asadict() function returns an ordered dictionary that is constructed from the mapped values. The _replace() function takes a key name as its argument and changes the values mapped to it. The _fileds() function returns all the key names of the given namedtuple.
