Tuple Class in C#


The Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5> class represents a 5-tuple, which is called quintuple. 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 five properties −

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

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

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

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

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

Let us now see an example to implement the 5-tuple in C# −

Example

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(string[] args) {
      Tuple<int,int,int,int,int> tuple = new Tuple<int,int,int,int,int>(120, 150, 270, 300, 600);
      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);
      if (tuple.Item1 == 100) {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 1 = " +tuple.Item1);
      }
      if (tuple.Item2 == 250) {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 2 = " +tuple.Item2);
      }
      if (tuple.Item3 == 270) {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 3 = " +tuple.Item3);
      }
      if (tuple.Item4 == 300) {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 4 = " +tuple.Item4);
      }
      if (tuple.Item5 == 400) {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 5 = " +tuple.Item5);
      }
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Value (Item1)= 100
Value (Item2)= 150
Value (Item3)= 300
Value (Item4)= 450
Value (Item5)= 600
Exists: Tuple Item 1 = 100

Let us now see another example to implement the 5-tuple in C# −

Example

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(string[] args) {
      Tuple<string,int,string,int,int> tuple = new Tuple<string,int,string,int,int>("jack", 150, "pete", 300, 600);
      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);
      if (tuple.Item1 == "kevin") {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 1 = " +tuple.Item1);
      }
      if (tuple.Item2 == 250) {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 2 = " +tuple.Item2);
      }
      if (tuple.Item3 == "pete") {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 3 = " +tuple.Item3);
      }
      if (tuple.Item4 == 300) {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 4 = " +tuple.Item4);
      }
      if (tuple.Item5 == 400) {
         Console.WriteLine("Exists: Tuple Item 5 = " +tuple.Item5);
      }
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Value (Item1)= jack
Value (Item2)= 150
Value (Item3)= pete
Value (Item4)= 300
Value (Item5)= 600
Exists: Tuple Item 3 = pete
Exists: Tuple Item 4 = 300
