## 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 cant be written to a table.
The function implements the operator `(x, y, …)`.
**Syntax**
``` sql
tuple(x, y, …)
```
## tupleElement
A function that allows getting a column from a tuple.
If the second argument is a number `index`, it is the column index, starting from 1. If the second argument is a string `name`, it represents the name of the element. Besides, we can provide the third optional argument, such that when index out of bounds or no element exist for the name, the default value returned instead of throwing an exception. The second and third arguments, if provided, must be constants. There is no cost to execute the function.
The function implements operators `x.index` and `x.name`.
**Syntax**
``` sql
tupleElement(tuple, index, [, default_value])
tupleElement(tuple, name, [, default_value])
```
## untuple
Performs syntactic substitution of [tuple](../../sql-reference/data-types/tuple.md#tuplet1-t2) elements in the call location.
The names of the result columns are implementation-specific and subject to change. Do not assume specific column names after `untuple`.
**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
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: The result type is calculated the same way it is for [Arithmetic functions](../../sql-reference/functions/arithmetic-functions.md), based on the number of elements in the input tuples.
``` sql
SELECT
toTypeName(tupleHammingDistance(tuple(0), tuple(0))) AS t1,
toTypeName(tupleHammingDistance((0, 0), (0, 0))) AS t2,
toTypeName(tupleHammingDistance((0, 0, 0), (0, 0, 0))) AS t3,
toTypeName(tupleHammingDistance((0, 0, 0, 0), (0, 0, 0, 0))) AS t4,
toTypeName(tupleHammingDistance((0, 0, 0, 0, 0), (0, 0, 0, 0, 0))) AS t5
```
``` text
┌─t1────┬─t2─────┬─t3─────┬─t4─────┬─t5─────┐
│ UInt8 │ UInt16 │ UInt32 │ UInt64 │ UInt64 │
└───────┴────────┴────────┴────────┴────────┘
```
**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
┌─HammingDistance─┐
│ 2 │
└─────────────────┘
```
## tupleToNameValuePairs
Turns a named tuple into an array of (name, value) pairs. For a `Tuple(a T, b T, ..., c T)` returns `Array(Tuple(String, T), ...)`
in which the `Strings` represents the named fields of the tuple and `T` are the values associated with those names. All values in the tuple should be of the same type.
**Syntax**
``` sql
tupleToNameValuePairs(tuple)
```
**Arguments**
- `tuple` — Named tuple. [Tuple](../../sql-reference/data-types/tuple.md) with any types of values.
**Returned value**
- An array with (name, value) pairs.
Type: [Array](../../sql-reference/data-types/array.md)([Tuple](../../sql-reference/data-types/tuple.md)([String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md), ...)).
**Example**
Query:
``` sql
CREATE TABLE tupletest (col Tuple(user_ID UInt64, session_ID UInt64)) ENGINE = Memory;
INSERT INTO tupletest VALUES (tuple( 100, 2502)), (tuple(1,100));
SELECT tupleToNameValuePairs(col) FROM tupletest;
```
Result:
``` text
┌─tupleToNameValuePairs(col)────────────┐
│ [('user_ID',100),('session_ID',2502)] │
│ [('user_ID',1),('session_ID',100)] │
└───────────────────────────────────────┘
```
It is possible to transform columns to rows using this function:
``` sql
CREATE TABLE tupletest (col Tuple(CPU Float64, Memory Float64, Disk Float64)) ENGINE = Memory;
INSERT INTO tupletest VALUES(tuple(3.3, 5.5, 6.6));
SELECT arrayJoin(tupleToNameValuePairs(col)) FROM tupletest;
```
Result:
``` text
┌─arrayJoin(tupleToNameValuePairs(col))─┐
│ ('CPU',3.3) │
│ ('Memory',5.5) │
│ ('Disk',6.6) │
└───────────────────────────────────────┘
```
If you pass a simple tuple to the function, ClickHouse uses the indexes of the values as their names:
``` sql
SELECT tupleToNameValuePairs(tuple(3, 2, 1));
```
Result:
``` text
┌─tupleToNameValuePairs(tuple(3, 2, 1))─┐
│ [('1',3),('2',2),('3',1)] │
└───────────────────────────────────────┘
```
