priority_queue::size (STL/CLR)

Counts the number of elements.

    size_type size();

Remarks

The member function returns the length of the controlled sequence. You use it to determine the number of elements currently in the controlled sequence. If all you care about is whether the sequence has nonzero size, see priority_queue::empty (STL/CLR)().

Example

// cliext_priority_queue_size.cpp 
// compile with: /clr 
#include <cliext/queue> 
 
typedef cliext::priority_queue<wchar_t> Mypriority_queue; 
int main() 
    { 
    Mypriority_queue c1; 
    c1.push(L'a'); 
    c1.push(L'b'); 
    c1.push(L'c'); 
 
// display initial contents " a b c" 
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1.get_container()) 
        System::Console::Write(" {0}", elem); 
    System::Console::WriteLine(); 
    System::Console::WriteLine("size() = {0} starting with 3", c1.size()); 
 
// pop an item and reinspect 
    c1.pop(); 
    System::Console::WriteLine("size() = {0} after popping", c1.size()); 
 
// add two elements and reinspect 
    c1.push(L'a'); 
    c1.push(L'b'); 
    System::Console::WriteLine("size() = {0} after adding 2", c1.size()); 
    return (0); 
    } 
 

 c a b
size() = 3 starting with 3
size() = 2 after popping
size() = 4 after adding 2
