tuple?tuples hold numerous elements in a fixed-size container.
tuples are not supported by enum functions.
tuple used for?tuples are used when a function has numerous return values.
They are also used to handle errors.
tuple1 = {}
tupleselem/2: This is an index-based access to a tuple.
put elem/3: This adds a value by index into a tuple.
tuple size/1: This is a function that returns the number of elements in a tuple.
tupledata_tuple = {"Dib", "Zim", 10, 3.14}tuple = elem(data_tuple, 0)IO.inspect tupletuple = elem(data_tuple, 2)IO.inspect tuple
From the above example:
Line 1: We create a variable and store data inside the tuple.
Line 2: We use the elem/2 method (which we explain in the function heading above) to read the data_tuple variable. We also pass an index of the element we want to read. Then, we save it in the tuple variable.
Line 3: We use IO.inspect to output our result.
