size_type size() const;		(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

Exceptions

noexcept specification:  

noexcept

  (since C++11)

Complexity

Constant

Example

The following code uses size to display the number of elements in a std::unordered_map<int>:

run this code

#include <unordered_map>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::unordered_map<int, char> nums {{1, 'a'}, {3, 'b'}, {5, 'c'}, {7, 'd'}};
 
    std::cout << "nums contains " << nums.size() << " elements.\n";
}

Output:

nums contains 4 elements.
