Tuple Types
Whether or not a tuple uses labels affects the tuple's type. An unlabeled tuple is simply an ordered list of types, whereas a tuple with field names uses those labels as part of its type:
// Type (Int, String, Double) let unlabeledTuple = (1, "Hello", 2.2) // Type (a: Int, b: String, c: Double) let labeledTuple = (a:1, b:"Hello", c:2.2)
With this label rule, the following type alias:
typealias LabeledTupleType = (a:Int, b:String, c:Double)
is not equivalent to this type alias:
typealias UnlabeledTupleType = (Int, String, Double)
because the latter doesn't include labels. This difference is most important when you use tuples as argument lists for closures, functions, and methods.
