std::tuple_size(std::array)

Defined in header `<array>`
template< class T, size_t N > class tuple_size< array<T, N> > : public integral_constant<size_t, N> { };	(1)	(since C++11)

Provides access to the number of elements in an std::array as a compile-time constant expression.

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value

[static]

N, the number of elements in the array
(public static member constant)

Member functions

operator std::size_t	converts the object to std::size_t, returns `value` (public member function)
operator() (C++14)	returns `value` (public member function)

Member types

Type	Definition
`value_type`	`std::size_t`
`type`	std::integral_constant<std::size_t, value>

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <array>
 
template<class T>
void test(T t)
{
    int a[std::tuple_size<T>::value]; // can be used at compile time
    std::cout << std::tuple_size<T>::value << '\n';
}
 
int main()
{
    std::array<float, 3> arr;
    test(arr);
}
