# std::is_bounded_array

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | types

Defined in header `<type_traits>` |  |
template< class T > struct is_bounded_array; |  | (since C++20)

Checks whether `T` is an array type of known bound. Provides the member constant `value` which is equal to true, if `T` is an array type of known bound. Otherwise, `value` is equal to false.

### Template parameters

T | - | a type to check

### Helper variable template

template< class T > inline constexpr bool is_bounded_array_v = is_bounded_array<T>::value; |  | (since C++20)

## Inherited from std::integral_constant

### Member constants

value [static] | true if `T` is an array type of known bound , false otherwise (public static member constant)

### Member functions

operator bool | converts the object to bool, returns `value` (public member function)
operator() (C++14) | returns `value` (public member function)

### Member types

Type | Definition
`value_type` | `bool`
`type` | std::integral_constant <bool, value>

### Possible implementation

    template<class T>
    struct is_bounded_array: std::false_type {};

    template<class T, std::size_t N>
    struct is_bounded_array<T[N]> : std::true_type {};

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <type_traits>

    class A {};

    int main()
    {
        std::cout << std::boolalpha;
        std::cout << std::is_bounded_array_v<A> << '\n';
        std::cout << std::is_bounded_array_v<A[]> << '\n';
        std::cout << std::is_bounded_array_v<A[3]> << '\n';
        std::cout << std::is_bounded_array_v<float> << '\n';
        std::cout << std::is_bounded_array_v<int> << '\n';
        std::cout << std::is_bounded_array_v<int[]> << '\n';
        std::cout << std::is_bounded_array_v<int[3]> << '\n';
    }

Output:

    false
    false
    true
    false
    false
    false
    true
