# std::tuple_size<std::tuple>

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | utility‎ | tuple

Defined in header `<tuple>` |  |
template< class... Types > struct tuple_size< std::tuple <Types...> > : std::integral_constant < std::size_t, sizeof...(Types)> { }; |  | (since C++11)

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

### Helper variable template

template< class T > constexpr std::size_t tuple_size_v = tuple_size<T>::value; |  | (since C++17)

## 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)
operator() (C++14) | returns value (public member function)

### Member types

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

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <tuple>

    template <class T>
    void test(T value)
    {
        int a[std::tuple_size_v<T>]; // can be used at compile time

        std::cout << std::tuple_size<T>{} << ' ' // or at run time
                  << sizeof a << ' '
                  << sizeof value << '\n';
    }

    int main()
    {
        test(std::make_tuple(1, 2, 3.14));
    }

Possible output:

    3 12 16
