Provides access to the number of elements in a tuple as a compile-time constant expression.

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value [static]	sizeof...(Types) (public static member constant)

Member functions

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

Member types

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

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <tuple>
 
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'; // or at run time
}
 
int main()
{
    test(std::make_tuple(1, 2, 3.14));
}

Output:

3
