How to create 5-Tuple or quintuple in C#?

In C#, a 5-tuple is a tuple that contains five elements and it is also known as quintuple. You can create a 5-tuple using two different ways:

• Using Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5>(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5) Constructor
• Using the Create method

Using Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5>(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5) Constructor

You can create 5-tuple using Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5>(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5) constructor. It initializes a new instance of the Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5> class. But when you create a tuple using this constructor then you have to specify the type of the element stored in the tuple.

Syntax:

public Tuple (T1 item1, T2 item2, T3 item3, T4 item4, T5 item5);

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.

Example:

// C# program to create 5-tuple
// using the tuple constructor
using System;

public class GFG {

    // Main method
    static public void Main()
    {

        // Creating tuple with five elements
        // Using Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5>(T1,
        // T2, T3, T4, T5) constructor
        Tuple<string, int, char, double, string> My_Tuple = new Tuple<string,
         int, char, double, string>("GeeksforGeeks", 10, 'G', 20.4, "Geeks");

        Console.WriteLine("Element 1: " + My_Tuple.Item1);
        Console.WriteLine("Element 2: " + My_Tuple.Item2);
        Console.WriteLine("Element 3: " + My_Tuple.Item3);
        Console.WriteLine("Element 4: " + My_Tuple.Item4);
        Console.WriteLine("Element 5: " + My_Tuple.Item5);
    }
}

Output:

Element 1: GeeksforGeeks
Element 2: 10
Element 3: G
Element 4: 20.4
Element 5: Geeks

Using Create Method

You can also create 5-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> Create<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5> (T1 item1, T2 item2, T3 item3, T4 item4, T5 item5);

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.

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.

Return Type: This method returns 5-tuple whose value is item1, item2, item3, item4 and item5.

Example:

// C# program to create 5-tuple
// using create method
using System;

public class GFG {

    // Main method
    static public void Main()
    {

        // Creating tuple with five elements
        // Using Create method
        var My_Tuple = Tuple.Create("Geeks", 20, 'f', 340.6, "GeeksforGeeks");

        Console.WriteLine("Element 1: " + My_Tuple.Item1);
        Console.WriteLine("Element 2: " + My_Tuple.Item2);
        Console.WriteLine("Element 3: " + My_Tuple.Item3);
        Console.WriteLine("Element 4: " + My_Tuple.Item4);
        Console.WriteLine("Element 5: " + My_Tuple.Item5);
    }
}

Output:

Element 1: Geeks
Element 2: 20
Element 3: f
Element 4: 340.6
Element 5: GeeksforGeeks
