A Decade is a Tuple from JavaTuples library that deals with 3 elements. Since this Decade is a generic class, it can hold any type of value in it.
Since Decade is a Tuple, hence it also has all the characteristics of JavaTuples:
- They are Typesafe
- They are Immutable
- They are Iterable
- They are Serializable
- They are Comparable (implements Comparable<Tuple>)
- They implement equals() and hashCode()
- They also implement toString()
Class Declaration
public final class Decade<A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J>
extends Tuple
implements IValue0<A>, IValue1<B>, IValue2<C>, IValue3<D>, IValue4<E>,
IValue5<F, IValue6<G, IValue7<H>, IValue8<I, J>

Creating Decade Tuple
Decade<A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J> decade =
new Decade<A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J>
(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6, value7, value8, value9, value10);
Java
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Decade;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Decade<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer,
Integer, Integer, Integer> decade
= Decade.with(Integer.valueOf(1),
Integer.valueOf(2),
Integer.valueOf(3),
Integer.valueOf(4),
Integer.valueOf(5),
Integer.valueOf(6),
Integer.valueOf(7),
Integer.valueOf(8),
Integer.valueOf(9),
Integer.valueOf(10));
System.out.println(decade);
}

- Using with() method: The with() method is a function provided by the JavaTuples library, to instantiate the object with such values.
Syntax:
Decade<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7, type8, type9> decade =
Decade.with(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6, value7, value8, value9, value10);
Java
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Decade;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Decade<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer,
Integer, Integer> decade
= Decade.with(Integer.valueOf(1),
Integer.valueOf(2),
Integer.valueOf(3),
Integer.valueOf(4),
Integer.valueOf(5),
Integer.valueOf(6),
Integer.valueOf(7),
Integer.valueOf(8),
Integer.valueOf(9),
Integer.valueOf(10));
System.out.println(decade);
}

- From other collections: The fromCollection() method is used to create a Tuple from a collection, and fromArray() method is used to create from an array. The collection/array must have the same type as of the Tuple and the number of values in the collection/array must match the Tuple class.
Syntax:
Decade<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7, type8, type9> decade =
Decade.fromCollection(collectionWith_10_value);
Decade<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7, type8, type9> decade =
Decade.fromArray(arrayWith_10_value);
Java
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Decade;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
list.add(1);
list.add(2);
list.add(3);
list.add(4);
list.add(5);
list.add(6);
list.add(7);
list.add(8);
list.add(9);
list.add(10);
Decade<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer,
Integer, Integer, Integer> decade
= Decade.fromCollection(list);
Integer[] arr = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
Decade<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer,
Integer, Integer, Integer> otherDecade
= Decade.fromArray(arr);
System.out.println(decade);
System.out.println(otherDecade);
}
}

Getting value
The getValueX() method can be used to fetch the value in a Tuple at index X. The indexing in Tuples starts with 0. Hence the value at index X represents the value at position X+1.
Syntax:
Decade<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7, type8, type9> decade =
new Decade<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7, type8, type9>
(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6, value7, value8, value9, value10);
type1 val1 = decade.getValue0();
Example:
Java
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Decade;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Decade<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer,
Integer, Integer, Integer> decade
= Decade.with(Integer.valueOf(1),
Integer.valueOf(2),
Integer.valueOf(3),
Integer.valueOf(4),
Integer.valueOf(5),
Integer.valueOf(6),
Integer.valueOf(7),
Integer.valueOf(8),
Integer.valueOf(9),
Integer.valueOf(10));
System.out.println(decade.getValue0());
System.out.println(decade.getValue2());
}
}

Output:

Setting Decade value
Since the Tuples are immutable, it means that modifying a value at any index is not possible.
Hence JavaTuples offer setAtX(value) which creates a copy of the Tuple with a new value at index X, and returns that Tuple.
Syntax:
Decade<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7, type8, type9> decade =
new Decade<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7, type8, type9>
(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6, value7, value8, value9, value10);
Decade<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7, type8, type9>
otherDecade = decade.setAtX(value);
Example:
Java
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Decade;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Decade<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer,
Integer, Integer, Integer> decade
= Decade.with(Integer.valueOf(1),
Integer.valueOf(2),
Integer.valueOf(3),
Integer.valueOf(4),
Integer.valueOf(5),
Integer.valueOf(6),
Integer.valueOf(7),
Integer.valueOf(8),
Integer.valueOf(9),
Integer.valueOf(10));
Decade<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer,
Integer, Integer, Integer> otherDecade
= decade.setAt3(40);
System.out.println(otherDecade);
}
}
|
Output:
[1, 2, 3, 40, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
Adding a value
JavaTuples do not support Tuple with more than 10 values. Hence there is no function to add a value in Decade.
Searching in Decade
An element can be searched in a tuple with the pre-defined method contains(). It returns a boolean value whether the value is present or not.
Syntax:
Decade<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7, type8, type9> decade =
new Decade<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7, type8, type9>
(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6, value7, value8, value9, value10);
boolean res = decade.contains(value2);
Example:
Java
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Decade;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Decade<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer,
Integer, Integer, Integer> decade
= Decade.with(Integer.valueOf(1),
Integer.valueOf(2),
Integer.valueOf(3),
Integer.valueOf(4),
Integer.valueOf(5),
Integer.valueOf(6),
Integer.valueOf(7),
Integer.valueOf(8),
Integer.valueOf(9),
Integer.valueOf(10));
boolean exist = decade.contains(5);
boolean exist1 = decade.contains(false);
System.out.println(exist);
System.out.println(exist1);
}
}
|
Output:
true
false
Iterating through Decade
Since Decade implement the Iterable<Object> interface. It means that they can be iterated in the same way as collections or arrays.
Syntax:
Decade<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7, type8, type9> decade =
new Decade<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7, type8, type9>
(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6, value7, value8, value9, value10);
for (Object item : decade) {
...
}
Example:
Java
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Decade;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Decade<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer,
Integer, Integer, Integer> decade
= Decade.with(Integer.valueOf(1),
Integer.valueOf(2),
Integer.valueOf(3),
Integer.valueOf(4),
Integer.valueOf(5),
Integer.valueOf(6),
Integer.valueOf(7),
Integer.valueOf(8),
Integer.valueOf(9),
Integer.valueOf(10));
for (Object item : decade)
System.out.println(item);
}
}
