A Quintet is a Tuple from JavaTuples library that deals with 3 elements. Since this Quintet is a generic class, it can hold any type of value in it.

Since Quintet is a Tuple, hence it also has all the characterstics 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 Quintet<A, B, C, D, E> extends Tuple
implements IValue0<A>, IValue1<B>, IValue2<C>, IValue3<D>, IValue4<E>

      ↳ org.javatuples.Quintet<A, B, C, D, E>

Creating Quintet Tuple

• From Constructor:

  Syntax:

  Quintet<A, B, C, D, E> quintet = 
      new Quintet<A, B, C, D, E>
          (value1, value2, value3, value4, value5);

  filter_none

  brightness_4
  code

  // Below is a Java program to create // a Quintet tuple from Constructor    import java.util.*; import org.javatuples.Quintet;    class GfG {     public static void main(String[] args)     {         Quintet<Integer, String, String, Double, Boolean> quintet             = Quintet.with(Integer.valueOf(1),                            "GeeksforGeeks",                            "A computer portal",                            Double.valueOf(20.18),                            true);            System.out.println(quintet);     } }

  chevron_right

  filter_none

  Output:

  
  
  
  

  [1, GeeksforGeeks, A computer portal, 20.18, true]
  

• Using with() method: The with() method is a function provided by the JavaTuples library, to instantiate the object with such values.

  Syntax:

  Quintet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5> quintet = 
      Quintet.with(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5);
  

  Example:

  filter_none

  // Below is a Java program to create // a Quintet tuple from with() method    import java.util.*; import org.javatuples.Quintet;    class GfG {     public static void main(String[] args)     {         Quintet<Integer, String, String, Double, Boolean> quintet             = Quintet.with(Integer.valueOf(1),                            "GeeksforGeeks",                            "A computer portal",                            Double.valueOf(20.18),                            true);            System.out.println(quintet);     } }

  chevron_right

  filter_none

  Output:

  [1, GeeksforGeeks, A computer portal, 20.18, true]
  

• 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:

  Quintet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5> quintet = 
      Quintet.fromCollection(collectionWith_5_value);
  
  Quintet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5> quintet = 
      Quintet.fromArray(arrayWith_5_value);

  filter_none

  // Below is a Java program to create // a Quintet tuple from Collection    import java.util.*; import org.javatuples.Quintet;    class GfG {     public static void main(String[] args)     {         // Creating Quintet from List         List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();         list.add(1);         list.add(2);         list.add(3);         list.add(4);         list.add(5);            Quintet<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> quintet             = Quintet.fromCollection(list);            // Creating Quintet from Array         Integer[] arr = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };            Quintet<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> otherQuintet             = Quintet.fromArray(arr);            System.out.println(quintet);         System.out.println(otherQuintet);     } }

  chevron_right

  filter_none

  Output:

  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  

Getting Value

The getValueX() method can be used to fetch the value in a Tuple at index X. The indexing in Tuples start with 0. Hence the value at index X represents the value at position X+1.

Syntax:

Quintet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5> quintet = 
    new Quintet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5>
                   (value1, value2, value3, value4, value5);

type1 val1 = quintet.getValue0();

Example:

Output:

1
A computer portal

Setting Quintet Value

Since the Tuples are immutable, it means that modifying a value at an 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:

Quintet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5> quintet = 
    new Quintet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5>
                  (value1, value2, value3, value4, value5);

Quintet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5> 
    otherQuintet = quintet.setAtX(value);

Example:

Output:

[1, GeeksforGeeks, A computer portal, 2.018, true]

Adding a value

Adding a value can be done with the help of addAtX() method, where X represents the index at which the value is to be added. This method returns a Tuple of element one more than the called Tuple.

Syntax:

Quintet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5> quintet = 
    new Quintet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5>
                   (value1, value2, value3, value4, value5);

Quintet<type 1, type 2, type 3, type 4, type 5> quintet = 
    quintet.addAtx(value);

Example:

Output:

[1, GeeksforGeeks, A computer portal, for geeks, 20.18, true, false]

Searching in Quintet

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:

Quintet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5> quintet = 
    new Quintet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5>
                   (value1, value2, value3, value4, value5);

boolean res = quintet.contains(value2);

Example:

Output:

true
false

Iterating through Quintet

Since Quintet implement the Iterable<Object> interface. It means that they can be iterated in the same way as collections or arrays.

Syntax:

Quintet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5> quintet = 
    new Quintet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5>
                   (value1, value2, value3, value4, value5);

for (Object item : quintet) {
        ...
}

Example:

Output:

1
GeeksforGeeks
A computer portal
20.18
true
