What does this Method return? (C#)

Question

Not so long ago I moved from Java to C# and I'm still learning and today I bumped into this in some code.

public async Task<(decimal Price, string NativeCurrency)> GetCurrentStockPrice(string ticker)

I'm wondering just based on the method signature what exactly does this method return? Does it return two values?

A [Tuple](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/builtin-types/value-tuples) that is wrapped in a [Task](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading.tasks.task-1?view=net-6.0). — Igor, Aug 17 '22 at 19:56

u can just return a tuple like that in c# not as a dictionary or HashSet — Mr.Gomer, Aug 17 '22 at 19:57

This returns a tuple of (decimal Price, string NativeCurrency)

So you would call

var currentStockPrice = await GetCurrentStockPrice("USD") //or whatever the ticket string needs to be instead of "USD"

and

currentStockPrice.Item1 is decimal Price
currentStockPrice.Item2 is string NativeCurrency
