Nested Tuple In The Rust Language

Image
Please watch this video before reading the content below.   In this article, we will learn about de-structuring of a tuple in the Rust programming language.  let my_tuple = (9, "nine", 9.0); A tuple can contain elements of different types, but once created, it can not be changed. We can access its first element as my_tuple.0 and the second as my_tuple.1 and so on. Another way is called de-structuring, let (num, num_str, num_float) = my_tuple; Now, we can access the first element of my_tuple as num and the second as num_str and so on. Now, we will consider the situation when one tuple is nested inside the other tuple. let nested_tuple = (9, ("nine", 9.0)); The first element of the nested_tuple is accessed as usual nested_tuple.0, but the second element is itself a tuple. So, (nested_tuple.1).0 is "nine" and (nested_tuple.1).1 is 9.0. Now, de-structuring works as follows,  let (num, (num_str, num_float)) = my_tuple; One unique characteristics I've notic...
