Tuple Class in C#


The Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7> class represents a 7-tuple, which is called septet. A tuple is a data structure that has a sequence of elements.

It is used in −

  • Easier access to a data set.
  • Easier manipulation of a data set.
  • To represent a single set of data.
  • To return multiple values from a method
  • To pass multiple values to a method

It has seven properties −

  • Item1− Get the value of the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7> object's first component.

  • Item2− Get the value of the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7> object's second component.

  • Item3− Get the value of the current Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7> object's third component.

  • Item4− Get the value of the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7>object's fourth component.

  • Item5− Get the value of the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7> object's fifth component.

  • Item6− Get the value of the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7> object's sixth component.

  • Item7− Get the value of the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7> object's seventh component.

Let us now see an example to implement the 7-tuple in C# −

Example

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(string[] args) {
      Tuple<int,int,int,int,int,int,int> tuple = new Tuple<int,int,int,int,int,int,int>(100, 150, 200, 300, 600, 1000, 2000);
      Console.WriteLine("Value (Item1)= " + tuple.Item1);
      Console.WriteLine("Value (Item2)= " + tuple.Item2);
      Console.WriteLine("Value (Item3)= " + tuple.Item3);
      Console.WriteLine("Value (Item4)= " + tuple.Item4);
      Console.WriteLine("Value (Item5)= " + tuple.Item5);
      Console.WriteLine("Value (Item6)= " + tuple.Item6);
      Console.WriteLine("Value (Item7)= " + tuple.Item7);
      if (tuple.Item5 == 600) {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 5 = " +tuple.Item5);
      }
      if (tuple.Item6 == 900) {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 6 = " +tuple.Item6);
      }
      if (tuple.Item7 == 2000) {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 7 = " +tuple.Item7);
      }
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Value (Item1)= 100
Value (Item2)= 150
Value (Item3)= 200
Value (Item4)= 300
Value (Item5)= 600
Value (Item6)= 1000
Value (Item7)= 2000
Exists: Tuple Item 5 = 600
Exists: Tuple Item 7 = 2000

Let us now see another example to implement the 7-tuple in C# −

Example

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(string[] args) {
      Tuple<int,int,int,int,int,int,int> tuple = new Tuple<int,int,int,int,int,int,int>(100, 150, 200, 300, 600, 1000, 1000);
      Console.WriteLine("Value (Item1)= " + tuple.Item1);
      Console.WriteLine("Value (Item2)= " + tuple.Item2);
      Console.WriteLine("Value (Item3)= " + tuple.Item3);
      Console.WriteLine("Value (Item4)= " + tuple.Item4);
      Console.WriteLine("Value (Item5)= " + tuple.Item5);
      Console.WriteLine("Value (Item6)= " + tuple.Item6);
      Console.WriteLine("Value (Item7)= " + tuple.Item7);
      if (tuple.Item5 == 600) {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 5 = " +tuple.Item5);
      }
      if (tuple.Item6 == 900) {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 6 = " +tuple.Item6);
      }
      if (tuple.Item7 == 2000) {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 7 = " +tuple.Item7);
      }
      if (tuple.Item7 == tuple.Item6){
         Console.WriteLine("Tuple Items Matched!");
      }
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Value (Item1)= 100
Value (Item2)= 150
Value (Item3)= 200
Value (Item4)= 300
Value (Item5)= 600
Value (Item6)= 1000
Value (Item7)= 1000
Exists: Tuple Item 5 = 600
Tuple Items Matched!
