# is_sequence

### Synopsis

    template<
          typename X
        >
    struct is_sequence
    {
        typedef unspecified type;
    };

### Description

Returns a boolean Integral Constant `c` such that `c::value == true` if and only if `X` is a model of Forward Sequence.

### Header

    #include <boost/mpl/is_sequence.hpp>

### Parameters

Parameter | Requirement | Description
--- | --- | ---
`X` | Any type | The type to query.

### Expression semantics

    typedef is_sequence<X>::type c;

Return type: | Boolean Integral Constant.

Semantics:

Equivalent to

    typedef not_< is_same< begin<T>::type,void_ > >::type c;

### Complexity

Amortized constant time.

### Example

    struct UDT {};

    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_NOT(( is_sequence< std::vector<int> > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_NOT(( is_sequence< int > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_NOT(( is_sequence< int& > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_NOT(( is_sequence< UDT > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_NOT(( is_sequence< UDT* > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_sequence< range_c<int,0,0> > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_sequence< list<> > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_sequence< list<int> > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_sequence< vector<> > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_sequence< vector<int> > ));
