1-4) Extracts the Ith element from the tuple. I is an integer value in [0, sizeof...(Types)).
5-8) Extracts the element of the tuple t whose type is T. Fails to compile if the tuple has more than one element of that type.

Parameters

t - tuple whose contents to extract

Return value

A reference to the selected element of t.

Exceptions

noexcept specification:  
noexcept
  

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <tuple>
 
int main()
{
    auto t = std::make_tuple(1, "Foo", 3.14);
    // index-based access
    std::cout << "(" << std::get<0>(t) << ", " << std::get<1>(t)
              << ", " << std::get<2>(t) << ")\n";
    // type-based access
    std::cout << "(" << std::get<int>(t) << ", " << std::get<const char*>(t)
              << ", " << std::get<double>(t) << ")\n";
}

Output:

(1, Foo, 3.14)
(1, Foo, 3.14)
