[edit] Example

The following code uses size to display the number of elements in a std::multimap:

#include <map>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{ 
    std::multimap<int,char> nums {{1, 'a'}, {3, 'b'}, {5, 'c'}, {7, 'd'}};
 
    std::cout << "nums contains " << nums.size() << " elements.\n";
}

Output:

nums contains 4 elements.
