Tuples are not completely new in C# 7.0. In .NET Framework 4.0, a set of Tuple classes has been introduced in the System.Tuple namespace. If you want to return more than one value from a method then you need to use Tuples. Besides, in the programming world, it is a very common thing to return multiple values from a method. Tuples in C# 7.0 provides a better mechanism to return multiple values from a method.

The main goal of these new features is to make it easier for developers to pass around references to value types instead of copies of their values. This is important when working with large data structures that are implemented as value types. C# allows passing parameters by reference, but a method was not able to return a reference. This has been changed with C# version 7.0.

The reason .NET 5.0 was chosen so that there is no confusion with the .NET version 4.* and Microsoft wanted to get rid of the Core because going forward this is the .NET version. Though for ASP.NET it is going to be still named as ASP.NET Core 5 because there is already AP.NET MVC 5.0. Here to avoid confusion, Core is retained. Same is applicable for Entity Framework Core. Entity Framework 5.0 will be named as Entity Framework Core 5 because there is already EF 5.0 and EF 6.0. Let us dive into features.
