=====size=====
Syntax:

<code>
#include <deque>
size_type size() const;
</code>

The size function returns the number of elements in the current deque.

For example:

<code>
deque<int> myints;
cout << "initial size: " << myints.size() << '\n';

for( int i = 0; i < 5; ++i ) myints.push_back(i);
cout << "after five additions: " << myints.size() << '\n';

myints.insert( myints.begin(), 5, 100 );
cout << "after five insertions: " << myints.size() << '\n';

myints.pop_back();
cout << "after a removal: " << myints.size() << '\n';
</code>

The above code produces the following output:

<code terminal>
initial size: 0
after five additions: 5
after five insertions: 10
after a removal: 9
</code>
