# std::tuple_element<std::array>

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container‎ | array

Defined in header `<array>` |  |
template< std::size_t I, class T, std::size_t N > struct tuple_element< I, std::array <T, N> >; |  | (since C++11)

Provides compile-time indexed access to the type of the elements of the array using tuple-like interface.

### Member types

Member type | Definition
type | the type of elements of the array

### Possible implementation

    template<std::size_t I, class T>
    struct tuple_element;

    template<std::size_t I, class T, std::size_t N>
    struct tuple_element<I, std::array<T,N>>
    {
        using type = T;
    };

### Example

Run this code

    #include <array>
    #include <tuple>
    #include <type_traits>

    int main()
    {
        // define array and get the type of the element at position 0
        std::array<int, 10> data{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
        using T = std::tuple_element<0, decltype(data)>::type; // int
        static_assert(std::is_same_v<T, int>);

        const auto const_data = data;
        using CT = std::tuple_element<0, decltype(const_data)>::type; // const int

        // the result of tuple_element depends on the cv-qualification of the tuple-like type
        static_assert(!std::is_same_v<T, CT>);
        static_assert(std::is_same_v<CT, const int>);
    }
