boost::mpl::at

# at

### Synopsis

    template<
          typename Sequence
        , typename N
        >
    struct at
    {
        typedef unspecified type;
    };

### Description

Returns a type identical to the `N`-th element from the beginning of the sequence.

### Definition

    #include "boost/mpl/at.hpp"

### Parameters

Parameter | Requirement | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Sequence` | A model of Forward Sequence | A sequence to be examined.
`N` | A model of Integral Constant | The offset from the beginning of the sequence that specifies the element to be retrieved.

### Expression semantics

Expression | Expression type | Precondition | Semantics | Postcondition
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`typedef at<Sequence,N>::type t;` | A type | `0 <= N::value < size<Sequence>::type::value` | Equivalent to `typedef advance< begin<Sequence>::type,N >::type::type t;` |

### Complexity

Depends on the implementation of the particular sequence it is applied to. Linear in the worst case, or amortized constant time.

### Example

    typedef range_c<long,10,50> range;
    BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(at< range, int_<0> >::type::value == 10);
    BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(at< range, int_<10> >::type::value == 20);
    BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(at< range, int_<40> >::type::value == 50);
