A Septet is a Tuple from JavaTuples library that deals with 3 elements. Since this Septet is a generic class, it can hold any type of value in it.
Since Septet 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 Septet<A, B, C, D, E, F, G> extends Tuple
implements IValue0<A>, IValue1<B>, IValue2<C>, IValue3<D>, IValue4<E>, IValue5<F, IValue6<G>

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

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

- 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:
Septet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7> septet =
Septet.fromCollection(collectionWith_7_value);
Septet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7> septet =
Septet.fromArray(arrayWith_7_value);
Java
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Septet;
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 );
Septet<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> septet
= Septet.fromCollection(list);
Integer[] arr = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 };
Septet<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> otherSeptet
= Septet.fromArray(arr);
System.out.println(septet);
System.out.println(otherSeptet);
}

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:
Septet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7> septet =
new Septet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7>
(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6, value7);
type1 val1 = septet.getValue0();
Example:
Java
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Septet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Septet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> septet
= Septet.with(Integer.valueOf( 1 ),
Integer.valueOf( 2 ),
Integer.valueOf( 3 ),
Integer.valueOf( 4 ),
Integer.valueOf( 5 ),
Integer.valueOf( 6 ),
Integer.valueOf( 7 ));
System.out.println(septet.getValue0());
System.out.println(septet.getValue2());
}
}

Output:

Setting Septet 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:
Septet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7> septet =
new Septet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7>
(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6, value7);
Septet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7>
otherSeptet = septet.setAtX(value);
Example:
Java
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Septet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Septet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> septet
= Septet.with(Integer.valueOf( 1 ),
Integer.valueOf( 2 ),
Integer.valueOf( 3 ),
Integer.valueOf( 4 ),
Integer.valueOf( 5 ),
Integer.valueOf( 6 ),
Integer.valueOf( 7 ));
Septet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> otherSeptet
= septet.setAt3( 40 );
System.out.println(otherSeptet);
}
}
|
Output:
[1, 2, 3, 40, 5, 6, 7]
Adding a Value
Adding a value can be done with the help of addAtX() method, where X represent the index at which the value is to be added. This method returns a Tuple of element one more than the called Tuple.
Syntax:
Septet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7> septet =
new Septet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7>
(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6, value7);
Septet<type 1, type 2, type 3, type 4, type 5, type 6, type 7> septet =
septet.addAtx(value);
Example:
Java
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Septet;
import org.javatuples.Octet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Septet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> septet
= Septet.with(Integer.valueOf( 1 ),
Integer.valueOf( 2 ),
Integer.valueOf( 3 ),
Integer.valueOf( 4 ),
Integer.valueOf( 5 ),
Integer.valueOf( 6 ),
Integer.valueOf( 7 ));
Octet<Integer, Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> octet
= septet.addAt7( 8 );
System.out.println(octet);
}
}
|
Output:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
Searching in Septet
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:
Septet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7> septet =
new Septet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7>
(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6, value7);
boolean res = septet.contains(value2);
Example:
Java
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Septet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Septet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> septet
= Septet.with(Integer.valueOf( 1 ),
Integer.valueOf( 2 ),
Integer.valueOf( 3 ),
Integer.valueOf( 4 ),
Integer.valueOf( 5 ),
Integer.valueOf( 6 ),
Integer.valueOf( 7 ));
boolean exist = septet.contains( 5 );
boolean exist1 = septet.contains( false );
System.out.println(exist);
System.out.println(exist1);
}
}
|
Output:
true
false
Iterating through Septet
Since Septet implement the Iterable<Object> interface. It means that they can be iterated in the same way as collections or arrays.
Syntax:
Septet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7> septet =
new Septet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6, type7>
(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6, value7);
for (Object item : septet) {
...
}
Example:
Java
import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Septet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Septet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> septet
= Septet.with(Integer.valueOf( 1 ),
Integer.valueOf( 2 ),
Integer.valueOf( 3 ),
Integer.valueOf( 4 ),
Integer.valueOf( 5 ),
Integer.valueOf( 6 ),
Integer.valueOf( 7 ));
for (Object item : septet)
System.out.println(item);
}
}
