The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The latest version of this topic can be found at deque::difference_type (STL/CLR).

The types of a signed distance between two elements.

Syntax

typedef int difference_type;  

Remarks

The type describes a signed element count.

Example

// cliext_deque_difference_type.cpp   
// compile with: /clr   
#include <cliext/deque>   
  
int main()   
    {   
    cliext::deque<wchar_t> c1;   
    c1.push_back(L'a');   
    c1.push_back(L'b');   
    c1.push_back(L'c');   
  
// display initial contents " a b c"   
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1)   
        System::Console::Write(" {0}", elem);   
    System::Console::WriteLine();   
  
// compute positive difference   
    cliext::deque<wchar_t>::difference_type diff = 0;   
    for (cliext::deque<wchar_t>::iterator it = c1.begin();   
        it != c1.end(); ++it) ++diff;   
    System::Console::WriteLine("end()-begin() = {0}", diff);   
  
// compute negative difference   
    diff = 0;   
    for (cliext::deque<wchar_t>::iterator it = c1.end();   
        it != c1.begin(); --it) --diff;   
    System::Console::WriteLine("begin()-end() = {0}", diff);   
    return (0);   
    }
