A Sextet is a Tuple from JavaTuples library that deals with 3 elements. Since this Sextet is a generic class, it can hold any type of value in it.
Since Sextet 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 Sextet<A, B, C, D, E, F> extends Tuple implements IValue0<A>, IValue1<B>, IValue2<C>, IValue3<D>, IValue4<E>, IValue5<F>
Class hierarchy
Object ↳ org.javatuples.Tuple ↳ org.javatuples.Sextet<A, B, C, D, E, F>
Creating Sextet Tuple
-
From Constructor:
Syntax:
Sextet<A, B, C, D, E, F> sextet = new Sextet<A, B, C, D, E. F> (value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6);
-
Example:
// Below is a Java program to create // a Sextet tuple from Constructor import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Sextet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Sextet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> sextet
= Sextet.with(Integer.valueOf( 1 ),
Integer.valueOf( 2 ),
Integer.valueOf( 3 ),
Integer.valueOf( 4 ),
Integer.valueOf( 5 ),
Integer.valueOf( 6 ));
System.out.println(sextet);
}
} |
- Output:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
-
Using with() method: The with() method is a function provided by the JavaTuples library, to instantiate the object with such values.
Syntax:
Sextet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6> sextet = Sextet.with(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6);
-
Example:
// Below is a Java program to create // a Sextet tuple from with() method import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Sextet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Sextet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> sextet
= Sextet.with(Integer.valueOf( 1 ),
Integer.valueOf( 2 ),
Integer.valueOf( 3 ),
Integer.valueOf( 4 ),
Integer.valueOf( 5 ),
Integer.valueOf( 6 ));
System.out.println(sextet);
}
} |
- Output:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
-
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:
Sextet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6> sextet = Sextet.fromCollection(collectionWith_6_value); Sextet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6> sextet = Sextet.fromArray(arrayWith_6_value);
-
Example:
// Below is a Java program to create // a Sextet tuple from Collection import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Sextet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Creating Sextet from List
List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
list.add( 1 );
list.add( 2 );
list.add( 3 );
list.add( 4 );
list.add( 5 );
list.add( 6 );
Sextet<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> sextet
= Sextet.fromCollection(list);
// Creating Sextet from Array
Integer[] arr = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 };
Sextet<Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> otherSextet
= Sextet.fromArray(arr);
System.out.println(sextet);
System.out.println(otherSextet);
}
} |
- Output:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
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:
Sextet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6> sextet = new Sextet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6> (value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6); type1 val1 = sextet.getValue0();
Example:
// Below is a Java program to get // a Sextet value import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Sextet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Sextet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> sextet
= Sextet.with(Integer.valueOf( 1 ),
Integer.valueOf( 2 ),
Integer.valueOf( 3 ),
Integer.valueOf( 4 ),
Integer.valueOf( 5 ),
Integer.valueOf( 6 ));
System.out.println(sextet.getValue0());
System.out.println(sextet.getValue2());
}
} |
Output:
1 3
Setting Sextet 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:
Sextet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6> sextet = new Sextet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6> (value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6); Sextet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6> otherSextet = sextet.setAtX(value);
Example:
// Below is a Java program to set // a Sextet value import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Sextet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Sextet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> sextet
= Sextet.with(Integer.valueOf( 1 ),
Integer.valueOf( 2 ),
Integer.valueOf( 3 ),
Integer.valueOf( 4 ),
Integer.valueOf( 5 ),
Integer.valueOf( 6 ));
Sextet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> otherSextet
= sextet.setAt3( 40 );
System.out.println(otherSextet);
}
} |
Output:
[1, 2, 3, 40, 5, 6]
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:
Sextet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6> sextet = new Sextet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6> (value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6); Sextet<type 1, type 2, type 3, type 4, type 5, type 6> sextet = sextet.addAtx(value);
Example:
// Below is a Java program to add // a value import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Sextet;
import org.javatuples.Septet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Sextet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> sextet
= Sextet.with(Integer.valueOf( 1 ),
Integer.valueOf( 2 ),
Integer.valueOf( 3 ),
Integer.valueOf( 4 ),
Integer.valueOf( 5 ),
Integer.valueOf( 6 ));
Septet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> septet
= sextet.addAt6( 7 );
System.out.println(septet);
}
} |
Output:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
Searching in Sextet
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:
Sextet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6> sextet = new Sextet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6> (value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6); boolean res = sextet.contains(value2);
Example:
// Below is a Java program to search // a value in a Sextet import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Sextet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Sextet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> sextet
= Sextet.with(Integer.valueOf( 1 ),
Integer.valueOf( 2 ),
Integer.valueOf( 3 ),
Integer.valueOf( 4 ),
Integer.valueOf( 5 ),
Integer.valueOf( 6 ));
boolean exist = sextet.contains( 5 );
boolean exist1 = sextet.contains( false );
System.out.println(exist);
System.out.println(exist1);
}
} |
Output:
true false
Iterating through Sextet
Since Sextet implement the Iterable<Object> interface. It means that they can be iterated in the same way as collections or arrays.
Syntax:
Sextet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6> sextet = new Sextet<type1, type2, type3, type4, type5, type6> (value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6); for (Object item : sextet) { ... }
Example:
// Below is a Java program to iterate // a Sextet import java.util.*;
import org.javatuples.Sextet;
class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Sextet<Integer, Integer.Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer> sextet
= Sextet.with(Integer.valueOf( 1 ),
Integer.valueOf( 2 ),
Integer.valueOf( 3 ),
Integer.valueOf( 4 ),
Integer.valueOf( 5 ),
Integer.valueOf( 6 ));
for (Object item : sextet)
System.out.println(item);
}
} |
Output:
1 2 3 4 5 6
