Tuples and Destructuring

Tuples group multiple values of different types into a single compound type. You can destructure a tuple into individual variables using pattern matching. Each position in the tuple has a specific type, and you can mix types freely.

snippet.rs
rust
let coordinates: (i32, i32, i32) = (10, 20, 30);
 
let (x, y, z) = coordinates;
println!("X: {}, Y: {}, Z: {}", x, y, z);
 
let person: (&str, u32, bool) = ("Alice", 25, false);
let (name, age, is_student) = person;
 
let temperature = (15.5, "Celsius");
let (temp, unit) = temperature;
println!("{} {}", temp, unit);

Breakdown

let coordinates: (i32, i32, i32) = (10, 20, 30);

Creates a tuple with three i32 values

let (x, y, z) = coordinates;

Destructures tuple into three separate variables

let person: (&str, u32, bool) = ("Alice", 25, false);

Tuple with mixed types: string, number, boolean

let (temp, unit) = temperature;

Destructures to access individual tuple elements
