I'm not entirely convinced anything's actually changed, based on your description, since 1998. Was it ever any better on a mobile device?

Hi All,
Can I ask what the definition of a Tuple is, a Python expert was going on aabout them being able to group a float, an integer & a string into an 'array' & being able to search them, to which I was asked how would you do that inn C, I answer a structure in an array. The I saw something about them coming to .NET...

A n-uple is an ordered atomic indivisible set of data. So yes, a structure is a n-uple. Tuples are simply 2-pieces n-uples, std::pair for example provides tuples.
ADD: one practical usage of tuples would be simple comparison and search between collections. Instead of having to overload an operator like in C++, creating a comparison methond in the structure like less guru-like C++ (which I prefer), creating a function to compare a structure instance to another or a macro like in C you simply can use the "==" provided by the language. Safer, more intuitive and faster to implement at the cost of raw power.

AFAIK, what you call n-uple is actually a tuple.

And you're perfectly right. I recalled my teacher lesson, who apparently got it wrong - wikipedia docet.

Tuples[^] have been available for a while in .NET. I assume you're referring to them coming as a return type in C#7[^].

Something I have been wishing I had since C# 1. I knew long before .NET what a tuple was in the context of set or relational theory, but ever so early in my C# days, I knew I wanted functions (methods) to be able to return multiple values, like the C# 7 tuple, not like an array, or some other Enumerable.

Technically you always could with a custom class. But, that's a pain.

While it's been possible to return a Tuple from .NET since version 4, the syntax at the receiving end is rather cumbersome. This is why the new Tuple return type is so welcome. There's no more trying to figure out what the mysterious Item1, Item2 and so on are.

Yes, it's always annoyed the crap out of me to write a class just for multiple return values.

Exactly. I bet there will be web2.0 tupperwares in a few years, that could communicate with your fridge.

If you don't remove the leftovers for a few years they would have established some pimitive form of government, like democracy.

It's like a struct without defining it. It's useful because you can avoid having to make up names for things 
|
|
|
|

Uhm, if there is a collection of data passed around it better should have a name, at least to mark its purpose. Being able to create unnamed objects at will means lowering the expected amount of design involved in writing solutions.
Unnamed entities (may them be structures or functions or whatever) may be a very good instrument but like a plasma torch they shouldn't be used carelessly...

Exactly why I regretted using one about five minutes after I used one 
It's also my biggest problem with functional languages, what the hell do you have in your tuples!? (int, int) isn't telling me much... 
The only time a tuple did me any good was when my boss made fun of me for not having a formal education in IT.
He said something, I asked him "what's that?", and he was all like "haha, yeah you didn't get that in school, of course."
I was their top programmer at the time, and I think that bothered him as, indeed, unlike my coworkers I didn't have formal education.
So anyway, I did some Open University courses and I read about tuples.
In a next conversation with my boss I told him "it's just some tuple" and then he asked me "what's that?"... THAT'S PAYBACK TIME BIATCH!!!

Tuples are pointless in their current implementation. The size limit is completely arbitrary, and the work around for the size limit is absurd. You'd be better off with a static class that contains a List<object> property. At least that way, you could populate it with a virtually unlimited number of data items, of any type.
Of course, it doesn't have to be static, so if you want persistence, or a unique ObjTuple for given situations, it's easy to code it as needed. I provided the IsString methods to illustrate type-checking that you might want/need. It could be expanded to include all intrinsic types.
public static class ObjTuple
{
public static List<object> Objects { get; set; }
<pre>
public static void Create(params object[] parameters)
{
ObjTuple.Objects = (ObjTuple.Objects == null) ? new List<object>() : ObjTuple.Objects;
ObjTuple.Objects.Clear();
ObjTuple.Objects.AddRange(parameters);
}
private static bool InRange(int index)
{
return (index >= 0 && index < ObjTuple.Objects.Count);
}
public static bool IsString(int index)
{
return (ObjTuple.InRange(index) && ObjTuple.IsString(ObjTuple.Objects[index]));
}
public static bool IsString(object obj)
{
return (obj is string);
}
}</pre>
Usage would be something like this:
ObjTuple.Create("Test", 1, 5.1);
foreach(object obj in ObjTuple.Objects)
{
if (ObjTuple.IsString(obj))
{
}
}
