// Non const version
constexpr reference at( size_type pos );

// Const version

Parameters

  • pos - position of the character to return

Return value

Reference to the requested character.

Exceptions

None.

Complexity

Main.cpp
#include <array>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::array<int,4> numbers {2, 4, 6, 8};

std::cout << "Second element: " << numbers[1] << '\n';

numbers[0] = 5;

std::cout << "All numbers:";
for (auto i : numbers) {
std::cout << ' ' << i;
}
std::cout << '\n';
}
