A tuple is an ordered container of two or more values of same or different types.
Unlike lists and arrays, however, there is no way to iterate through elements in a tuple.
Its purpose is only as a container for more than one value.
Tuples are useful when you need to group discrete elements and provide a generic means to structure data.
We can create a tuple in two ways:
->The following code shows a tuple containing an Int, a Boolean, and a String using the former method.
val tuple = (1, false, "Scala")
The following code shows a tuple created using a relation operator:
val tuple2 ="title" -> "Beginning Scala"
Individual elements of a tuple can be accessed by its index, where the first element has an index 1.
The following code shows accessing the third element of the tuple.
val tuple = (1, false, "Scala") val third = tuple._3
