Definition:Ordered Tuple/Also known as

Definition
Some sources refer to an ordered tuple as a tuple.

The term ordered $n$-tuple can sometimes be seen, particularly for specific instances of $n$.

Instead of writing 2-tuple, 3-tuple and 4-tuple, the terms couple, triple and quadruple are usually used.

In the context of abstract algebra, the concept is encountered as (associative) word.

It is noted that an ordered tuple is in fact a one-dimensional array.
