+// Conceptually, Tuples are similar to  old data structures (C-like structs) but instead of having named data members , 
+// its elements are accessed by their order in the tuple.
+
+// We start with constructing a tuple.
+// Packing values into tuple
+auto first = make_tuple(10,'A');
+const int maxN = 1e9;
+const int maxL = 15;
+auto second = make_tuple(maxN,maxL);
+
+// printing elements of 'first' tuple
+cout << get<0>(first) << " " << get<1>(first) << "\n"; //prints : 10 A
+
+// printing elements of 'second' tuple
+cout << get<0>(second) << " " << get<1>(second) << "\n"; // prints: 1000000000 15
+
+// Unpacking tuple into variables
+
+int first_int;
+char first_char;
+tie(first_int,first_char) = first;
+cout << first_int << " " << first_char << "\n";  // prints : 10 A
+
+// We can also create tuple like this.
+
+tuple<int,char,double> third (11,'A',3.14141);
+// tuple_size returns number of elements in a tuple (as a constexpr)
+
+cout << tuple_size < decltype(third) >::value << "\n"; // prints: 3
+
+// tuple_cat concatenates the elements of all the tuples in the same order.
+
+auto concatenated_tuple = tuple_cat( first, second ,third);
+// concatenated_tuple becomes = (10,'A',1e9,15,11,'A',3.14141)
