What and When to use Tuple?
.net, .net-4.0, c#, c#-4.0, tuples
Solution
This msdn article explains it very well with examples, "A tuple is a data structure that has a specific number and sequence of elements".
Tuples are commonly used in four ways:
To represent a single set of data. For example, a tuple can represent a database record, and its components can represent individual fields of the record.
To provide easy access to, and manipulation of, a data set.
To return multiple values from a method without using out parameters (in C#) or `ByRef` parameters (in Visual Basic).
To pass multiple values to a method through a single parameter. For example, the `Thread.Start(Object)` method has a single parameter that lets you supply one value to the method that the thread executes at startup time. If you supply a `Tuple<T1, T2, T3>` object as the method argument, you can supply the thread’s startup routine with three items of data.
Problem
May someone please explain what a Tuple is and how to use it in a Real World Scenario. I would like to find out how this can enrich my coding experience?
