# Tuple and tuple indexing expressions

## Tuple expressions

> **Syntax**\
> _TupleExpression_ :\
>    `(` [_InnerAttribute_]\* _TupleElements_? `)`
>
> _TupleElements_ :\
>    ( [_Expression_] `,` )+ [_Expression_]?

Tuples are written by enclosing zero or more comma-separated expressions in
parentheses. They are used to create [tuple-typed](../types/tuple.md)
values.

```rust
(0.0, 4.5);
("a", 4usize, true);
();
```

You can disambiguate a single-element tuple from a value in parentheses with a
comma:

```rust
(0,); // single-element tuple
(0); // zero in parentheses
```

### Tuple expression attributes

[Inner attributes] are allowed directly after the opening parenthesis of a
tuple expression in the same expression contexts as [attributes on block
expressions].

## Tuple indexing expressions

[Tuples](../types/tuple.md) and [struct tuples](../items/structs.md) can be
indexed using the number corresponding to the position of the field. The index
must be written as a [decimal literal](../tokens.md#integer-literals) with no
underscores or suffix. Tuple indexing expressions also differ from field
expressions in that they can unambiguously be called as a function. In all
other aspects they have the same behavior.

```rust
# struct Point(f32, f32);
let pair = (1, 2);
assert_eq!(pair.1, 2);
let unit_x = Point(1.0, 0.0);
assert_eq!(unit_x.0, 1.0);
```
