Tuples in Swift are a versatile and efficient way to group multiple values, possibly of different types, into a single compound value. They are particularly useful for functions that need to return more than one piece of information. Importantly, tuples are value types in Swift. This means when a tuple is assigned to a new variable or passed to a function, it is copied, not referenced. This behavior ensures that modifications to a copied tuple don't affect the original, keeping your data management clean and predictable. Tuples offer a compact, yet powerful way to handle multi-part data in Swift, combining simplicity with the robustness of value type semantics. Happy coding!
