size_type size() const;

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.

Exceptions

(none)	(until C++11)
noexcept specification:   noexcept	(since C++11)

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.
