Boost C++ Libraries

...one of the most highly regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the world. Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu, C++ Coding Standards

Synopsis

template<
      typename Sequence
    , typename N
    >
struct at
{
    typedef unspecified type;
};

Description

Returns a type identical to the N-th element from the beginning of the sequence.

Definition

#include "boost/mpl/at.hpp"

Parameters

 Parameter  Requirement  Description  
SequenceA model of Forward SequenceA sequence to be examined.
NA model of Integral ConstantThe offset from the beginning of the sequence that specifies the element to be retrieved.

Expression semantics

 Expression  Expression type  Precondition  Semantics  Postcondition 
typedef at<Sequence,N>::type t;A type0 <= N::value < size<Sequence>::type::valueEquivalent to typedef advance< begin<Sequence>::type,N >::type::type t;

Complexity

Depends on the implementation of the particular sequence it is applied to. Linear in the worst case, or amortized constant time.

Example

typedef range_c<long,10,50> range;
BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(at< range, int_<0> >::type::value == 10);
BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(at< range, int_<10> >::type::value == 20);
BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(at< range, int_<40> >::type::value == 50);
