## Remarks
 A tuple is a data structure that has a specific number and sequence of values. The <xref:System.Tuple%604> class represents a 4-tuple, or quadruple, which is a tuple that has four components.

 You can instantiate a <xref:System.Tuple%604> object by calling either the <xref:System.Tuple%604.%23ctor%2A> constructor or the static <xref:System.Tuple.Create%60%604%28%60%600%2C%60%601%2C%60%602%2C%60%603%29?displayProperty=nameWithType> method. You can retrieve the value of the tuple's components by using the read-only <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item1%2A>, <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item2%2A>, <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item3%2A>, and <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item4%2A> instance properties.

 Tuples are commonly used in four different ways:

- To represent a single set of data. For example, a tuple can represent a database record, and its components can represent individual fields of the record.

- To provide easy access to, and manipulation of, a data set. The following example defines an array of <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects that contain the names of baseball pitchers, the number of innings they pitched, and the number of earned runs (runs that scored without fielding errors), and hits that they gave up. The array is passed to the `ComputeStatistics` method, which calculates each pitcher's earned run average (the average number of runs given up in a nine-inning game), and the average number of hits given up per inning. The method also uses these two averages to compute a hypothetical effectiveness average.

     :::code language="csharp" source="~/snippets/csharp/System/TupleT1,T2,T3,T4/Overview/example1.cs" id="Snippet1":::
     :::code language="fsharp" source="~/snippets/fsharp/System/TupleT1,T2,T3,T4/Overview/example1.fs" id="Snippet1":::
     :::code language="vb" source="~/snippets/visualbasic/System/TupleT1,T2,T3,T4/Overview/example1.vb" id="Snippet1":::

- To return multiple values from a method without the use of `out` parameters (in C#) or `ByRef` parameters (in Visual Basic). For example, the previous example returns its computed statistics, along with the name of the pitcher, in an array of <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects.

- To pass multiple values to a method through a single parameter. For example, the <xref:System.Threading.Thread.Start%28System.Object%29?displayProperty=nameWithType> method has a single parameter that lets you supply one value to the method that the thread executes at startup. If you supply a <xref:System.Tuple%604> object as the method argument, you can supply the thread's startup routine with four items of data.

## Remarks
 You can also use the static <xref:System.Tuple.Create%60%604%28%60%600%2C%60%601%2C%60%602%2C%60%603%29?displayProperty=nameWithType> method to instantiate a 4-tuple object without having to explicitly specify the types of its components. The following example uses the <xref:System.Tuple.Create%60%604%28%60%600%2C%60%601%2C%60%602%2C%60%603%29?displayProperty=nameWithType> method to instantiate a 4-tuple whose components are of type <xref:System.String>, <xref:System.Double>, <xref:System.Double>, and <xref:System.Double>.

## Remarks
 The `obj` parameter is considered to be equal to the current instance under the following conditions:

- It is a <xref:System.Tuple%604> object.

- Its four components are of the same types as the current instance.

- Its four components are equal to those of the current instance. Equality is determined by the default object equality comparer for each component.



## Examples
 The following example defines an array of <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects that provide data on temperatures at three times during a particular day. The <xref:System.Tuple%604.Equals%28System.Object%29> method is called to compare every <xref:System.Tuple%604> object with every other <xref:System.Tuple%604> object. The output illustrates that the <xref:System.Tuple%604.Equals%28System.Object%29> method returns `true` only when all four components of the <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects have equal values.

## Remarks
 You can dynamically determine the type of the <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item1%2A> component in one of two ways:

- By calling the `GetType` method on the value that is returned by the <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item1> property.

- By retrieving the <xref:System.Type> object that represents the <xref:System.Tuple%604> object, and retrieving the first element from the array that is returned by its <xref:System.Type.GetGenericArguments%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method.



## Examples
 The following example defines an array of <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects whose components contain the name of a city, a month of the year, and the average high and low temperatures for that month. It then retrieves and displays the value of each component.

## Remarks
 This member is an explicit interface member implementation. It can be used only when the <xref:System.Tuple%604> instance is cast to an <xref:System.Collections.IStructuralComparable> interface.

 Although this method can be called directly, it is most commonly called by collection sorting methods that include <xref:System.Collections.IComparer> parameters to order the members of a collection. For example, it is called by the <xref:System.Array.Sort%28System.Array%2CSystem.Collections.IComparer%29?displayProperty=nameWithType> method and the <xref:System.Collections.SortedList.Add%2A> method of a <xref:System.Collections.SortedList> object that is instantiated by using the <xref:System.Collections.SortedList.%23ctor%28System.Collections.IComparer%29?displayProperty=nameWithType> constructor.

> [!CAUTION]
>  The <xref:System.Tuple%604.System%23Collections%23IStructuralComparable%23CompareTo%28System.Object%2CSystem.Collections.IComparer%29> method is intended for use in sorting operations. It should not be used when the primary purpose of a comparison is to determine whether two objects are equal. To determine whether two objects are equal, call the <xref:System.Tuple%604.System%23Collections%23IStructuralEquatable%23Equals%28System.Object%2CSystem.Collections.IEqualityComparer%29> method.



## Examples
 The following example creates an array of <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects that contain statistical data about baseball pitchers. The data items include the name of the pitcher, the number of innings pitched, the pitcher's earned run average (the average number of runs a pitcher allows per game), and the number of hits the pitcher has given up. The example displays the component of each tuple in the array in unsorted order, sorts the array, and then calls <xref:System.Tuple%604.ToString%2A> to display the value of each tuple in sorted order. To sort the array, the example defines a generic `PitcherComparer` class that implements the <xref:System.Collections.IComparer> interface and sorts the <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects in ascending order by the value of their third component (the earned run average) rather than their first component. Note that the example does not directly call the <xref:System.Tuple%604.System%23Collections%23IStructuralComparable%23CompareTo%28System.Object%2CSystem.Collections.IComparer%29> method. This method is called implicitly by the <xref:System.Array.Sort%28System.Array%2CSystem.Collections.IComparer%29?displayProperty=nameWithType> method for each element in the array.

## Remarks
 This member is an explicit interface member implementation. It can be used only when the <xref:System.Tuple%604> instance is cast to an <xref:System.Collections.IStructuralEquatable> interface.

 The <xref:System.Collections.IEqualityComparer.Equals%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> implementation is called only if `other` is not `null`, and if it can be successfully cast (in C#) or converted (in Visual Basic) to a <xref:System.Tuple%604> object whose components are of the same types as the current instance. The <xref:System.Tuple%604.System%23Collections%23IStructuralEquatable%23Equals%28System.Object%2CSystem.Collections.IEqualityComparer%29> method first passes the <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item1%2A> values of the <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects to be compared to the <xref:System.Collections.IEqualityComparer.Equals%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> implementation. If this method call returns `true`, the method is called again and passed the <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item2%2A> values of the two <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects. If this method call returns `true` again, the method is called a third time and passed the <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item3%2A> values of the two <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects. If this method call returns `true` again, the method is called for the fourth and final time and passed the <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item4%2A> values of the two <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects.



## Examples
 The following example defines an `Item3And4Comparer` class that implements the <xref:System.Collections.IEqualityComparer> interface and changes the way in which <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects are evaluated for equality. The method always returns `true` when it is passed the <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item1%2A> and <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item2> property values of two <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects, and it calls the `obj.Equals` method to evaluate their <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item3> property values. It this method call returns `true`, it also calls the `obj.Equals` method to evaluate the tuples' <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item4> property values. As a result, the method tests for equality based only on the values of the <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item3%2A> and <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item4%2A> properties. The output illustrates the result for a data set of <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects that record the name of a U.S. city, the month of a year, and the average high and low temperature for that month.

## Remarks
 This member is an explicit interface member implementation. It can be used only when the <xref:System.Tuple%604> instance is cast to an <xref:System.Collections.IStructuralEquatable> interface.

 The method simply wraps a call to the `comparer` object's <xref:System.Collections.IEqualityComparer.GetHashCode%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> implementation.

 The algorithm used to compute the hash code should return the same hash code for two <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects that are considered to be equal.

## Remarks
 This member is an explicit interface member implementation. It can be used only when the <xref:System.Tuple%604> instance is cast to an <xref:System.IComparable> interface.

 This method provides the <xref:System.IComparable.CompareTo%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> implementation for the <xref:System.Tuple%604> class. Although the method can be called directly, it is most commonly called by the default overloads of collection sorting methods, such as <xref:System.Array.Sort%28System.Array%29?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:System.Collections.SortedList.Add%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType>, to order the members of a collection.

> [!CAUTION]
>  The <xref:System.Tuple%604.System%23IComparable%23CompareTo%2A> method is intended for use in sorting operations. It should not be used when the primary purpose of a comparison is to determine whether two objects are equal. To determine whether two objects are equal, call the <xref:System.Tuple%604.Equals%2A> method.

 The <xref:System.Tuple%604.System%23IComparable%23CompareTo%2A> method uses the default object comparer to compare each component.



## Examples
 The following example creates an array of <xref:System.Tuple%604> objects whose components consist of a baseball pitcher's name, number of innings pitched, and number of hits and earned runs given up. It displays the components of each tuple in the array in unsorted order, sorts the array, and then calls <xref:System.Tuple%604.ToString%2A> to display each tuple in sorted order. The output shows that the array has been sorted by name, which is the first component. Note that the example does not directly call the <xref:System.Tuple%604.System%23IComparable%23CompareTo%28System.Object%29> method. This method is called implicitly by the <xref:System.Array.Sort%28System.Array%29> method for each element in the array.

## Remarks
 The string returned by this method takes the form (*Item1*, *Item2*, *Item3*, *Item4*), where *Item1*, *Item2*, *Item3*, and *Item4* represent the values of the <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item1%2A>, <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item2%2A>, <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item3%2A>, and <xref:System.Tuple%604.Item4%2A> properties, respectively. If any of the property values is `null`, it is represented as <xref:System.String.Empty?displayProperty=nameWithType>.



## Examples
 The following example illustrates the <xref:System.Tuple%604.ToString%2A> method. It displays the components of an array of 4-tuple objects that contain the name of a city, a month of the year, and the high and low average temperature for that month.
