Iterating over a lists of list of tuple

Here nums is a list of [list of {tuples}].

nums = [[{5,2}], [{10,2},{4,5}], [{6,5},{3,10},{2,15}]]

I want to print output like this:

10 5 2
20 10 2 4 5
30 6 5 3 10 2 15

Here, the first number is desired to be the product the tuple, followed by the tuples (factors).
The code I used,

Enum.each(nums, fn n ->
  case n do
    [{x,y}] ->IO.puts "#{x*y} #{x} #{y}"
  end
end)

But my code only handles the case where “nums” at any index has only 1 tuple.
What if it has n tuples and how can I handle the same?

Oh, oops; I could have been clearer. :101:

Regarding the assumption of pre-grouped tuples, I was talking about continuing to accept the original list-of-lists, perhaps due to a limitation of the source, e.g.:

[[{5,2}], [{10,2}, {4,5}], [{6,5}, {3,10}, {2,15}]]
|> List.flatten()
|> Enum.group_by(fn {a, b} -> a * b end)
|> ...

But I agree that a single list of tuples would be a preferable input format, if the source can provide it.

Thanks @OvermindDL1 and @Ted for your help.
The filtering at the source using List.flatten looks much better. Applied that. And there goes my first project in Elixir. Thank you for your help. Elixir!

So like this?

Enum.each(nums, fn n ->
  case n do
    [{x,y} | _] = list ->IO.puts("#{x*y} #{Enum.map(list, fn {a, b} -> "#{a} #{b} " end)}")
  end
end)

In IEx:

iex(1)> nums = [[{5,2}], [{10,2},{4,5}], [{6,5},{3,10},{2,15}]]                                    
[[{5, 2}], [{10, 2}, {4, 5}], [{6, 5}, {3, 10}, {2, 15}]]
iex(2)> Enum.each(nums, fn n ->
...(2)>   case n do
...(2)>     [{x,y} | _] = list ->IO.puts("#{x*y} #{Enum.map(list, fn {a, b} -> "#{a} #{b} " end)}")
...(2)>   end
...(2)> end)
10 5 2 
20 10 2 4 5 
30 6 5 3 10 2 15 
:ok

Just for fun, if the list was ‘flat’ like:

nums = [{5,2}, {10,2}, {4,5}, {6,5}, {3,10}, {2,15}]

You could group them by their products really easily:

iex(4)> Enum.group_by(nums, fn {a, b} -> a * b end)
%{10 => [{5, 2}], 20 => [{10, 2}, {4, 5}], 30 => [{6, 5}, {3, 10}, {2, 15}]}

Which you could then also loop over and print, the first value is the product, the second is the list of tuples. ^.^
