How to create 5-ValueTuple in C#?

In C#, a 5-ValueTuple or quintuple is a value type tuple which contains five elements. You can create a 5-ValueTuple using two different ways:

Using ValueTuple <T1, T2, T3, T4, T5>(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5) Constructor
Using Create <T1, T2, T3, T4, T5>(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5) Method

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

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

Syntax:

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

Parameters:

item1: It is the value of the first value tuple component.
item2: It is the value of the second value tuple component.
item3: It is the value of the third value tuple component.
item4: It is the value of the fourth value tuple component.
item5: It is the value of the fifth value tuple component.

Example:

// C# program to create a quintuple 
// value tuple using value tuple constructor 

using System; 

class GFG { 

    // Main method 

    static public void Main() 

    { 

        // Creating a value tuple with five elements 

        // Using ValueTuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5>(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5) constructor 

        ValueTuple<string, string, string, string, string> MyTpl = new ValueTuple<string, string, 

                                      string, string, string>("Dog", "Cat", "Cow", "Pig", "Hen"); 

        Console.WriteLine("Component 1: " + MyTpl.Item1); 

        Console.WriteLine("Component 2: " + MyTpl.Item2); 

        Console.WriteLine("Component 3: " + MyTpl.Item3); 

        Console.WriteLine("Component 4: " + MyTpl.Item4); 

        Console.WriteLine("Component 5: " + MyTpl.Item5); 

    } 
}

Output:

Component 1: Dog
Component 2: Cat
Component 3: Cow
Component 4: Pig
Component 5: Hen

Using Create <T1, T2, T3, T4, T5>(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5) Method

You can also create a quintuple value tuple or a value tuple which holds 5-elements with the help of Create <T1, T2, T3, T4, T5>(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5) method. When you use this method, then there is no need to specify the type of the elements stored in the value tuple.

Syntax:

public static ValueTuple<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 value tuple’s first component.
T2: It is the type of the value tuple’s second component.
T3: It is the type of the value tuple’s third component.
T4: It is the type of the value tuple’s fourth component.
T5: It is the type of the value tuple’s fifth component.

Parameters:

item1: It is the value of the value tuple’s first component.
item2: It is the value of the value tuple’s second component.
item3: It is the value of the value tuple’s third component.
item4: It is the value of the value tuple’s fourth component.
item5: It is the value of the value tuple’s fifth component.

Returns: This method returns a value tuple with five elements.

Example:

// C# program to create a quintuple value tuple 
// using Create<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5>(T1, T2, T3, 
// T4, T5) method 

using System; 

class GFG { 

    // Main method 

    static public void Main() 

    { 

        // Creating a value tuple with five elements 

        // Using Create<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5>(T1, T2,  

        // T3, T4, T5) method 

        var MyTple = ValueTuple.Create(12, 34, 56, 45, 67); 

        Console.WriteLine("Component 1: " + MyTple.Item1); 

        Console.WriteLine("Component 2: " + MyTple.Item2); 

        Console.WriteLine("Component 3: " + MyTple.Item3); 

        Console.WriteLine("Component 4: " + MyTple.Item4); 

        Console.WriteLine("Component 5: " + MyTple.Item5); 

    } 
}

Output:

Component 1: 12
Component 2: 34
Component 3: 56
Component 4: 45
Component 5: 67
