A tuple has setAtX() methods to set value at particular index. For example Triplet class has following methods.
setAt0() − set value at index 0.
setAt1() − set value at index 1.
setAt2() − set value at index 2.
Tuples are immutable. Each setAtX() returns a new tuple which is to be used to see the updated value.
Type of a position of a tuple can be changed using setAtX() method.
Let's see JavaTuples in action. Here we'll see how to set 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; public class TupleTester { public static void main(String args[]){ //Create using with() method Pair<String, Integer> pair = Pair.with("Test", Integer.valueOf(5)); Pair<String, Integer> pair1 = pair.setAt0("Updated Value"); System.out.println("Original Pair: " + pair); System.out.println("Updated Pair:" + pair1); Pair<String, String> pair2 = pair.setAt1("Changed Type"); System.out.println("Original Pair: " + pair); System.out.println("Changed Pair:" + pair2); } }
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
Original Pair: [Test, 5] Updated Pair:[Updated Value, 5] Original Pair: [Test, 5] Changed Pair:[Test, Changed Type]
