Slight issue in book (Compound Data Types section) #21829

Description

@budleigh

In one of the tuple examples in the compound data types section (beginner), the docs show that

let x = (1, 2, 3);
let y = (2, 2, 4);

are not equivalent tuples by saying the following:

This will print no, because some of the values aren't equal.

To me, this implies that the following WOULD be equivalent:

let x = (1, 2, 3);
let y = (2, 1, 3);

because all of the values are the same, but the compiler says the tuples are different. Perhaps add a note about value ordering being important to tuple equivalency or show another example.
