In C#, an 8-tuple is a
tuple that contains eight elements and it is also known as
Octuple. You can create an 8-tuple using two different ways:
- Using Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7,TRest>(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest) Constructor
- Using the Create method
Using Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7,TRest>(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest) Constructor
You can create 8-tuple using Tuple < T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest>(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest) constructor. It initializes a new instance of the Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest> class. But when you create a tuple using this constructor then
you have to specify the type of the element stored in the tuple.
Note: If you will this constructor, then you can also create a tuple that contains eight or more than eight elements by using the
rest parameter to create n-nested tuples and each tuple contains from one to seven components.
Syntax:
public Tuple (T1 item1, T2 item2, T3 item3, T4 item4, T5 item5, T6 item6, T7 item7, TRest rest);
Parameters:
- item1: It is the value of the first tuple component.
- item2: It is the value of the second tuple component.
- item3: It is the value of the third tuple component.
- item4: It is the value of the fourth tuple component.
- item5: It is the value of the fifth tuple component.
- item6: It is the value of the sixth tuple component.
- item7: It is the value of the seventh tuple component.
- rest: It is any generic Tuple object which contains the values of the tuple's remaining components.
Exception: This will give
ArgumentException if the
rest is not a generic Tuple object.
Example:
Output:
Element 1: 22
Element 2: 33
Element 3: 44
Element 4: 545
Element 5: 55
Element 6: 88
Element 7: 66
Element 8: 77
Using Create Method
You can also create 8-tuple with the help of Create method. When you use this method then
there is no need to specify the type of the elements stored in the tuple.
Syntax:
public static Tuple < T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, Tuple < T8>> Create < T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8> (T1 item1, T2 item2, T3 item3, T4 item4, T5 item5, T6 item6, T7 item7, T8 item8);
Type Parameters:
- T1: It is the type of the first tuple component.
- T2: It is the type of the second tuple component.
- T3: It is the type of the third tuple component.
- T4: It is the type of the fourth tuple component.
- T5: It is the type of the fifth tuple component.
- T6: It is the type of the sixth tuple component.
- T7: It is the type of the seventh tuple component.
- T8: It is the type of the eighth tuple component.
Parameters:
- item1: It is the value of the first tuple component.
- item2: It is the value of the second tuple component.
- item3: It is the value of the third tuple component.
- item4: It is the value of the fourth tuple component.
- item5: It is the value of the fifth tuple component.
- item6: It is the value of the sixth tuple component.
- item7: It is the value of the seventh tuple component.
- item8: It is the value of the eighth tuple component.
Return Type: This method returns 8-tuple whose value is
item1, item2,
item3,
item4,
item5,
item6,
item7, and
item8.
