Tuple Table pattern
Description: The Tuple Table design pattern is a structural pattern that provides a flexible way to manage complex data structures. It is used to store and manipulate a collection of tuples (fixed-size collections of elements) in a tabular format. This pattern is particularly useful when dealing with databases or any system that requires the efficient handling of structured data.
Main elements of the Tuple Table pattern:
- Tuple: A finite ordered list of elements.
- Table: A collection of tuples organized in rows and columns, similar to a database table.
- Schema: Defines the structure of the tuples within the table, specifying the types and order of elements.
- Operations: Functions to add, remove, update, and query tuples within the table.
- Flexibility: Ability to handle different types of data within the same table by defining appropriate schemas.

Acceptance Criteria:
- Implement the Tuple Table pattern with a clear definition of tuples, table, and schema.
- Provide basic operations for managing tuples within the table, including addition, removal, update, and querying of tuples.
- Ensure comprehensive unit tests are included to verify the correct implementation of the pattern.
@iluwatar - can you please assign this to me. I want to give it shot.
Wonderful, go ahead @atif-github-venture
Thank you.. i will begin working on it.
