Zip multiple sequences

Question

I am trying to zip multiple sequences to form a long tuple:

val ints = List(1,2,3)
val chars = List(\'a\', \'b\', \'c\')
val strings = List(\"Al         


        

Answer 1

I share Jesper's opinion that this is not possible in general, since each tuple arity is represented as separate class in source code, so you have to write separate code to access them unless using a code generator.

But I want to add another possible solution. If you want to preserve the typing of your tuple entries, but are otherwise interested in a more collection-like type, maybe HLists (heterogenous lists) are for you. You can google hlist scala for implementations and explanations.
