size_type size() const;

Returns the number of elements in the container adaptor. Equivalent to: return c.size().

Parameters

(none)

Return value

The number of elements in the container adaptor.

Complexity

Constant.

Example

Run this code

#include <cassert>
#include <queue>
 
int main()
{
    std::priority_queue<int> queue;
    assert(queue.size() == 0);
 
    const int count = 8;
    for (int i = 0; i != count; ++i)
        queue.push(i);
    assert(queue.size() == count);
}
