For icl containers the single size function known from std containers branches into tree to five different members functions. The table above shows the types, size functions are implemented for, together with their complexities. Linear complexities O(n) refer to the container's iterative_size:

n = y.iterative_size()

The next table gives a short definition for the different size functions.

Description

size_type interval_count(const T&)

S M

The number of intervals of an interval container.

size_type iterative_size(const T&)

S M s m

The number of objects in an icl container that can be iterated over.

difference_type length(const T&)

i S M

The length of an interval or the sum of lengths of an interval container's intervals, that's domain_type has a difference_type.

size_type cardinality(const T&)

i S M s m

The number of elements of an interval or a container. For continuous data types cardinality can be infinite.

size_type T::size()const
size_type size(const T&)

i S M s m

The number of elements of an interval or a container, which is also it's cardinality.
