size_type size() const; |
Returns the number of elements in the container, i.e. std::distance(begin(), end()).
(none).
The number of elements in the container.
| (none) | (until C++11) |

Constant.
The following code uses size to display the number of elements in a std::map:
#include <map>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::map<int,char> nums {{1, 'a'}, {3, 'b'}, {5, 'c'}, {7, 'd'}};
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) |
