Tuples

A Tuples implementation in Kotlin.

What are tuples?

A tuple is a finite, heterogeneous, ordered series of elements.

Why does this project exist?

A few years ago, while learning Java/Android, I was introduced to the original JavaTuples library - a simple, elegant library for creating and working with tuples.

This project implements similar functionality in Kotlin, using Kotlin-esque semantics. Also, it more closely follows ordinal (as opposed to index-based) semantics in certain circumstances, where it seems appropriate.

Some examples:

• Element class vs Unit class (to avoid confusion with Unit in Kotlin)
• tripletOf(a, b, c) vs Triplet.with(a, b, c)
• myTuple.first vs myTuple.getValue0()
• myOtherTuple.dropSecond() vs myOtherTuple.removeFrom1()

This project (like all of my personal projects, really) exists mainly to give me a playground in which to experiment. Should you find it useful, drop me a line. I'd be very happy to hear about how you use it!

ToDo

• Finish this README.
• Add KDocs for each of the Tuple classes.
• Add homogenous Tuple implementation?
• Add HenDecade and Dozen classes?
• Rename Ennead to Nonet?
