assign multiple values to a matrix in c#

is there a way to have a matrix that stores an int and a boolean at the same time?

Imagine having a matrix: matrix[x, y]

Now, is it somehow possible to do something like this? matrix[2, 1] = 5, true matrix[1, 5] = 2, false

The matrix simply stores an int and a boolean value at the same time.

C# 7.0 introduced a simple syntax for tuples to store multiple values in one matrix element:

var matrix = new (int, bool)[10, 10];

matrix[2, 1] = (5, true);
matrix[1, 5] = (2, false);

The example creates a 2D array of 10 times 10 tuples. Here, (int, bool) defines tuples which consist of an int and a bool value.

It would be simpler to use two matrices in parallel, one for the integers and one for the bool values.
