Tuples, vectors and sets #28

Description

@gmagerma

Probably semantics, but:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuple
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(mathematics)

Obviously the set of positive integers is N = {1,2,...}. There are no recurring elements.
But say that we flip 10 coins 1 time, then one event/outcome is A ={H,H,H,T,T,H,T,T,H,H}
This is then not a set but a tuple?
And what if we flip a coin as many times as needed to get a heads? Then the tuple is possibly of size n -> \infty?

Potato potato?
Or is there a difference between math and programming languages applications?

Bonus: symmetric difference is an extension of a set complement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_difference
