ntuple

ntuple(f::Function, n)

Create a tuple of length n, computing each element as f(i), where i is the index of the element.

Examples

  1. Create a tuple of squared numbers:

    julia> ntuple(x -> x^2, 5)
    (1, 4, 9, 16, 25)

    This example creates a tuple of length 5 where each element is computed as the square of its index.

  2. Generate a tuple of strings using a custom function:

    julia> ntuple(i -> "Element $i", 3)
    ("Element 1", "Element 2", "Element 3")

    It generates a tuple of length 3 where each element is computed using a custom function that takes the index and returns a string.

  3. Use an anonymous function to create a tuple of exponential values:
    julia> ntuple(i -> 2.0^i, 4)
    (1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0)

    In this example, an anonymous function is used to compute the elements of the tuple as exponential values of 2.

Common mistake example:

julia> ntuple(x -> x^2, -2)
ERROR: ArgumentError: ntuple: n must be nonnegative

In this example, a negative value is provided as the length of the tuple. The ntuple function expects a nonnegative value for n. To avoid such errors, ensure that n is a nonnegative integer before using ntuple.
