std::array<T,N>::data: std::array<T,N>::data

NAME

std::array<T,N>::data - std::array<T,N>::data

Synopsis


T* data() noexcept; (until C++17)
constexpr T* data() noexcept; (since C++17)
const T* data() const noexcept; (until C++17)
constexpr const T* data() const noexcept; (since C++17)


Returns pointer to the underlying array serving as element storage. The pointer is such that range [data(); data() + size()) is always a valid range, even if the container is empty (data() is not dereferenceable in that case).

Parameters


(none)

Return value


Pointer to the underlying element storage. For non-empty containers, the returned pointer compares equal to the address of the first element.

Complexity


Constant.

Notes


If size() is 0, data() may or may not return a null pointer.
