# Functions for Working with Tuples {#tuple-functions}
|
||
|
||
## tuple {#tuple}
|
||
|
||
A function that allows grouping multiple columns.
|
||
For columns with the types T1, T2, …, it returns a Tuple(T1, T2, …) type tuple containing these columns. There is no cost to execute the function.
|
||
Tuples are normally used as intermediate values for an argument of IN operators, or for creating a list of formal parameters of lambda functions. Tuples can’t be written to a table.
|
||
|
||
The function implements the operator `(x, y, …)`.
|
||
|
||
**Syntax**
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
tuple(x, y, …)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## tupleElement {#tupleelement}
|
||
|
||
A function that allows getting a column from a tuple.
|
||
‘N’ is the column index, starting from 1. N must be a constant. ‘N’ must be a constant. ‘N’ must be a strict postive integer no greater than the size of the tuple.
|
||
There is no cost to execute the function.
|
||
|
||
The function implements the operator `x.N`.
|
||
|
||
**Syntax**
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
tupleElement(tuple, n)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## untuple {#untuple}
|
||
|
||
Performs syntactic substitution of [tuple](../../sql-reference/data-types/tuple.md#tuplet1-t2) elements in the call location.
|
||
|
||
**Syntax**
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
untuple(x)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can use the `EXCEPT` expression to skip columns as a result of the query.
|
||
|
||
**Arguments**
|
||
|
||
- `x` — A `tuple` function, column, or tuple of elements. [Tuple](../../sql-reference/data-types/tuple.md).
|
||
|
||
**Returned value**
|
||
|
||
- None.
|
||
|
||
**Examples**
|
||
|
||
Input table:
|
||
|
||
``` text
|
||
┌─key─┬─v1─┬─v2─┬─v3─┬─v4─┬─v5─┬─v6────────┐
|
||
│ 1 │ 10 │ 20 │ 40 │ 30 │ 15 │ (33,'ab') │
|
||
│ 2 │ 25 │ 65 │ 70 │ 40 │ 6 │ (44,'cd') │
|
||
│ 3 │ 57 │ 30 │ 20 │ 10 │ 5 │ (55,'ef') │
|
||
│ 4 │ 55 │ 12 │ 7 │ 80 │ 90 │ (66,'gh') │
|
||
│ 5 │ 30 │ 50 │ 70 │ 25 │ 55 │ (77,'kl') │
|
||
└─────┴────┴────┴────┴────┴────┴───────────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Example of using a `Tuple`-type column as the `untuple` function parameter:
|
||
|
||
Query:
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
SELECT untuple(v6) FROM kv;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Result:
|
||
|
||
``` text
|
||
┌─_ut_1─┬─_ut_2─┐
|
||
│ 33 │ ab │
|
||
│ 44 │ cd │
|
||
│ 55 │ ef │
|
||
│ 66 │ gh │
|
||
│ 77 │ kl │
|
||
└───────┴───────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Example of using an `EXCEPT` expression:
|
||
|
||
Query:
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
SELECT untuple((* EXCEPT (v2, v3),)) FROM kv;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Result:
|
||
|
||
``` text
|
||
┌─key─┬─v1─┬─v4─┬─v5─┬─v6────────┐
|
||
│ 1 │ 10 │ 30 │ 15 │ (33,'ab') │
|
||
│ 2 │ 25 │ 40 │ 6 │ (44,'cd') │
|
||
│ 3 │ 57 │ 10 │ 5 │ (55,'ef') │
|
||
│ 4 │ 55 │ 80 │ 90 │ (66,'gh') │
|
||
│ 5 │ 30 │ 25 │ 55 │ (77,'kl') │
|
||
└─────┴────┴────┴────┴───────────┘
|
||
```

||
|
||
## tupleHammingDistance {#tuplehammingdistance}
|
||
|
||
Returns the [Hamming Distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_distance) between two tuples of the same size.
|
||
|
||
**Syntax**
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
tupleHammingDistance(tuple1, tuple2)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Arguments**
|
||
|
||
- `tuple1` — First tuple. [Tuple](../../sql-reference/data-types/tuple.md).
|
||
- `tuple2` — Second tuple. [Tuple](../../sql-reference/data-types/tuple.md).
|
||
|
||
Tuples should have the same type of the elements.
|
||
|
||
**Returned value**
|
||
|
||
- The Hamming distance.
|
||
|
||
Type: [UInt8](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md).
|
||
|
||
**Examples**
|
||
|
||
Query:
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
SELECT tupleHammingDistance((1, 2, 3), (3, 2, 1)) AS HammingDistance;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Result:
|
||
|
||
``` text
|
||
┌─HammingDistance─┐
|
||
│ 2 │
|
||
└─────────────────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Can be used with [MinHash](../../sql-reference/functions/hash-functions.md#ngramminhash) functions for detection of semi-duplicate strings:
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
SELECT tupleHammingDistance(wordShingleMinHash(string), wordShingleMinHashCaseInsensitive(string)) as HammingDistance FROM (SELECT 'Clickhouse is a column-oriented database management system for online analytical processing of queries.' AS string);
|
||

|
||
|
||
Result:
|
||
|
||
``` text
|
||
