size_type size() const; | (until C++11) | |
size_type size() const noexcept; | (since C++11) |
Returns the number of elements in the container, i.e. std::distance(begin(), end()).
(none).
The number of elements in the container.
| Constant or linear. | (until C++11) |
| Constant. | (since C++11) |
The following code uses size to display the number of elements in a std::list:
#include <list>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::list<int> nums {1, 3, 5, 7};
std::cout << "nums contains " << nums.size() << " elements.\n";
}Output:
nums contains 4 elements.
| checks whether the container is empty (public member function) |
|
| returns the maximum possible number of elements (public member function) |
|
| changes the number of elements stored (public member function) |
