A tuple has add() method at the end of a tuple and it changes the type of tuple as well. For example adding a element to Triplet tuple will convert it to a Quartet tuple.
Quartet<String,String,String,String> quartet = triplet.add("Test");
A tuple has addAtX() methods as well to add a position at particular index starting from 0.
Quartet<String,String,String,String> quartet = triplet.addAt1("Test");
A tuple can add more than one elements using addAtX() methods.
Quartet<String,String,String,String> quartet = pair.addAt1("Test1", "Test2");
A tuple can add a tuple as well using addAtX() methods.
Quartet<String,String,String,String> quartet = pair.addAt1(pair1);
Let's see JavaTuples in action. Here we'll see how to add values in a tuple using various ways.
Create a java class file named TupleTester in C:\>JavaTuples.
File: TupleTester.java
package com.howcodex; import org.javatuples.Pair; import org.javatuples.Quartet; import org.javatuples.Quintet; import org.javatuples.Triplet; public class TupleTester { public static void main(String args[]){ Pair<String, Integer> pair = Pair.with("Test", Integer.valueOf(5)); Triplet<String, Integer, String> triplet = pair.add("Test2"); Quartet<String, String, Integer, String> quartet = triplet.addAt1("Test1"); Quintet<String, Integer, String, String, Integer> quintet = triplet.add(pair); System.out.println("Pair: " + pair); System.out.println("Triplet:" + triplet); System.out.println("Quartet:" + quartet); System.out.println("Quintet:" + quintet); } }
Verify the result
Compile the classes using javac compiler as follows −
C:\JavaTuples>javac -cp javatuples-1.2.jar ./com/howcodex/TupleTester.java
Now run the TupleTester to see the result −
C:\JavaTuples>java -cp .;javatuples-1.2.jar com.howcodex.TupleTester
Verify the Output
Pair: [Test, 5] Triplet:[Test, 5, Test2] Quartet:[Test, Test1, 5, Test2] Quintet:[Test, 5, Test2, Test, 5]
