An n-tuple (x1,...,xn) is an ordered list of n sets. It can be constructed in several ways. A popular definition is the original set x1 for n=1 and the ordered pair ((x1,...,xn-1),xn) otherwise.
Klick on the ordered pair ( 230, 161 ) or the natural number 12 to see how it may be defined as a set.
(230, 161, 12) = ( ( 230, 161 ), 12 )
