size_type size()noexcept;		(noexcept since C++11) (constexpr since C++26)

Returns the number of elements in the container.

Return value

std::distance(begin(), end())

Complexity

Constant.

Example

The following code uses size to display the number of elements in a std::deque:

Run this code

#include <deque>#include <iostream>   int main(){std::deque<int> nums{1, 3, 5, 7};   std::cout<<"nums contains "<< nums.size()<<" elements.\n";}

Output:

nums contains 4 elements.
