# std::get(std::array)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container‎ | array

template< size_t I, class T, size_t N > constexpr T& get( array<T,N>& a ); | (1) | (since C++11)
template< size_t I, class T, size_t N > constexpr T&& get( array<T,N>&& a ); | (2) | (since C++11)
template< size_t I, class T, size_t N > constexpr const T& get( const array<T,N>& a ); | (3) | (since C++11)

Extracts the `Ith` element element from the array.

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

### [edit] Parameters

a | - | array whose contents to extract

### [edit] Return value

1) Reference to the `Ith` element of `a`.

2) Rvalue reference to the `Ith` element of `a`, unless the element is of lvalue reference type, in which case lvalue reference is returned.

3) Const reference to the `Ith` element of `a`.

### [edit] Exceptions

`noexcept` specification:
noexcept

### [edit] Notes

The overloads are marked as constexpr since C++14.

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <array>

    int main()
    {
        std::array<int, 3> arr;

        // set values:
        std::get<0>(arr) = 1;
        std::get<1>(arr) = 2;
        std::get<2>(arr) = 3;

        // get values:
        std::cout << "(" << std::get<0>(arr) << ", " << std::get<1>(arr)
                  << ", " << std::get<2>(arr) << ")\n";
    }

Output:

    (1, 2, 3)
