Question

Sometimes i need to use a Tuple, for example i have list of tanks and their target tanks (they chase after them or something like that ) :

List

        

Answer 1

Or even more simple

        var tupleList = (
           new[] {
                new { fruit = "Tomato", colour = "red"},
                new { fruit = "Tomato", colour = "yellow"},
                new { fruit = "Apple", colour = "red"},
                new { fruit = "Apple", colour = "green"},
                new { fruit = "Medlar", colour = "russet"}
            }).ToList();

Which loses the static function.
