size_type size() noexcept;		(noexcept since C++11) (constexpr since C++26)

Returns the number of elements in the container.

Return value

std::distance(begin(), end())

Complexity

Constant.

Example

Run this code

#include <cassert>
#include <set>
 
int main()
{
    std::set<int> nums{4, 2, 4, 2};
    assert(nums.size() == 2);
}
