size_type size() const; | (since C++11) |
Returns the number of elements in the container, i.e. std::distance(begin(), end()).
Parameters

Return value
The number of elements in the container.

Constant.
Example
The following code uses size to display the number of elements in a std::unordered_set<int>:
#include <unordered_set>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::unordered_set<int> nums {1, 3, 5, 7};
std::cout << "nums contains " << nums.size() << " elements.\n";
}Output:
nums contains 4 elements.
