fn main() {
    let t: (i8, bool) = (7, true);
    println!("t.0: {}", t.0);
    println!("t.1: {}", t.1);
}

  • Like arrays, tuples have a fixed length.

  • Tuples group together values of different types into a compound type.

  • Fields of a tuple can be accessed by the period and the index of the value, e.g. t.0, t.1.

  • The empty tuple () is referred to as the "unit type" and signifies absence of a return value, akin to void in other languages.
