Extracts the Ith element from the array using tuple-like interface.

I must be an integer value in range [0N). This is enforced at compile time as opposed to at() or operator[].

Parameters

a - array whose contents to extract

Return value

A reference to the Ith element of a.

Complexity

Constant.

Example

#include <array>
#include <iostream>

constexpr std::array v{1, 2, 3};
static_assert(get<0>(v) == 1 && get<1>(v) == 2 && get<2>(v) == 3);

int main()
{
    std::array<int, 3> a;
    
    // set values:
    get<0>(a) = 1, get<1>(a) = 2, get<2>(a) = 3;
    
    // get values:
    std::cout << '(' << get<0>(a) << ',' << get<1>(a) << ',' << get<2>(a) << ")\n";
}

Output:

(1,2,3)
