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 ( 390, 234 ) or the natural number 8 to see how it may be defined as a set.
(390, 234, 8) = ( ( 390, 234 ), 8 )
