std::multimap<Key,T,Compare,Allocator>::size: std::multimap<Key,T,Compare,Allocator>::size

NAME

std::multimap<Key,T,Compare,Allocator>::size - std::multimap<Key,T,Compare,Allocator>::size

Synopsis

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()).

Parameters

(none)

Return value

The number of elements in the container.

Complexity

Constant.

Example

The following code uses size to display the number of elements in a std::multimap:
// Run this code

  #include <map>
  #include <iostream>

  int main()
  {
      std::multimap<int,char> nums {{1, 'a'}, {3, 'b'}, {5, 'c'}, {7, 'd'}};

      std::cout << "nums contains " << nums.size() << " elements.\n";
  }

Output:

  nums contains 4 elements.
