tuple

Finite data sequence

A tuple is an ordered sequence of elements, used primarily in mathematics and programming.

Unlike a list, a tuple typically cannot be modified after creation.

The number of elements defines the type: a pair is a 2-tuple, a triple is a 3-tuple.

The function returns a tuple containing the coordinates.

Pronounced either to rhyme with "couple" or with "quadruple."
