Deduction guides(C++17)

template< size_t I, class T, size_t N > constexpr T& get( array<T,N>& a ) noexcept;	(1)	(since C++11)
template< size_t I, class T, size_t N > constexpr T&& get( array<T,N>&& a ) noexcept;	(2)	(since C++11)
template< size_t I, class T, size_t N > constexpr const T& get( const array<T,N>& a ) noexcept;	(3)	(since C++11)
template< size_t I, class T, size_t N > constexpr const T&& get( const array<T,N>&& a ) noexcept;	(4)	(since C++17)

Extracts the Ith element element from the array.

I must be an integer value in range [0, N). This is enforced at compile time as opposed to at() or operator[].

Parameters

a

-

array whose contents to extract

Return value

A reference to the Ith element of a.

Complexity

Constant.

Notes

The overloads are marked as constexpr since C++14.

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <array>

int main()
{
    std::array<int, 3> arr;

    // set values:
    std::get<0>(arr) = 1;
    std::get<1>(arr) = 2;
    std::get<2>(arr) = 3;

    // get values:
    std::cout << "(" << std::get<0>(arr) << ", " << std::get<1>(arr)
              << ", " << std::get<2>(arr) << ")\n";
}

Output:

(1, 2, 3)
