Description

Returns the distance between two iterators.

Synopsis

template<
    typename I,
    typename J
    >
struct distance
{
    typedef unspecified type;
};

Table 1.16. Parameters

Parameter	Requirement	Description
`I`, `J`	Models of Forward Iterator into the same sequence	The start and end points of the distance to be measured

Expression Semantics

result_of::distance<I, J>::type

Return type: A model of MPL Integral Constant.

Semantics: Returns the distance between iterators of types I and J.
