❔ Is there a built-in way to map (transform) a tuple?

For example, I'd like to do this (hypothetical code):

bool foo = (val: 1.0, truthiness: true, name: "hello").Map((bar) => { bar.val > 0 && bar.name == "Bob" || bar.truthiness });

bool foo = (val: 1.0, truthiness: true, name: "hello").Map((bar) => { bar.val > 0 && bar.name == "Bob" || bar.truthiness });

instead of that

var bar = (val: 1.0, truthiness: true, name: "hello");
bool foo = bar.val > 0 && bar.name == "Bob" || bar.truthiness;

var bar = (val: 1.0, truthiness: true, name: "hello");
bool foo = bar.val > 0 && bar.name == "Bob" || bar.truthiness;

The reasoning is that it's cumbersome to have to introduce variable names for intermediate computations involving tuples. Being able to transform them directly makes it possible to avoid that.

If I'm understanding correctly, there is no built-in way to do it, but you could have a general-purpose Map extension.

public static TResult Map<TSource, TResult>(this TSource source, Func<TSource, TResult> map) => map(source);

public static TResult Map<TSource, TResult>(this TSource source, Func<TSource, TResult> map) => map(source);

REPL Result: Success

static TResult Map<TSource, TResult>(this TSource source, Func<TSource, TResult> map) => map(source);

bool foo = (val: 1.0, truthiness: true, name: "hello").Map((bar) => bar.val > 0 && bar.name == "Bob" || bar.truthiness);
foo

static TResult Map<TSource, TResult>(this TSource source, Func<TSource, TResult> map) => map(source);

bool foo = (val: 1.0, truthiness: true, name: "hello").Map((bar) => bar.val > 0 && bar.name == "Bob" || bar.truthiness);
foo

Result: bool

True

True

I assume what you're looking for is more like F#'s built-in |> operator

I don't know F#, so I can't really comment on that. By "built-in" I merely meant "something part of the standard library".

Thinker•9mo ago

Yeah no, there isn't

__dil__•9mo ago

it seems like your solution works just fine though (although it's not built-in) thanks!
