Tuples

In mathematics, a tuple or a sequence is a list of objects arranged in an order. Such a list may have repeated objects but the order is more important. Such sequences or tuples are denoted as ( t1, t2, t3, …., tn ) where tn is the nth element of the list. Below are a few examples of tuples.

  • (x, y)
  • (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
  • (1, 4, 9, 16)
  • (a, e, f, j, k)
  • (red, blue, green)
  • (+, -, *, ×, ÷, ?)

Please note ☞

A tuple with n elements is called an n-tuple.

A tuple is written by enlisting the elements in the required order and enclosed within parentheses. The elements are separated by a comma.

(1, 5, 9, 2, 3, 34) is a 6-tuple

(blue, red, green, green, blue) is a 5-tuple

Relations & Sets

A Relation from set A to set B is defined as a set of ordered pairs formed from the elements of set A and B. In other words, a relation is a subset of the cartesian product of sets A and B. The subset is derived by establishing predicate filter(s) or criteria stating...
