Returns the size of the given range.
1,2) Returns c.size(), converted to the return type if necessary.
3,4) Returns N.
[edit] Parameters c - a container or view with asize
member function array - an array of arbitrary type [edit] Return value
1) c.size()
3,4) N
[edit] Exceptions1,2) May throw implementation-defined exceptions.
[edit] OverloadsCustom overloads of size
may be provided for classes and enumerations that do not expose a suitable size()
member function, yet can be detected.
