In the above snippet, we bind to myPair. But this also means you can provide support for your classes, assuming you add the get<n> interface implementation. See an example in the later section.

What does "analyse this specimen" mean?

ChatGPT
"Analyze this specimen" is a directive to closely examine and evaluate a particular object, sample, or subject. The word "specimen" refers to a representative example or sample of something, often used in scientific contexts. When someone asks to analyze a specimen, they are typically requesting a detailed examination, assessment, or study of the given object or sample to gain insights, draw conclusions, or gather information. The nature of the analysis can vary based on the context, such as scientific research, medical diagnosis, forensic investigation, or any other field where a careful examination is required.

What does "analyse this snippet" mean?

ChatGPT
"Analyze this snippet" is a request to examine and evaluate a specific, usually small portion or excerpt of something, such as code, text, data, or any other content. The term "snippet" refers to a brief and typically representative section of a larger whole. When someone asks you to analyze a snippet, they are asking you to closely examine that particular portion to understand its details, identify patterns, extract information, or gain insights relevant to a specific context.

For example, in programming, you might be asked to analyze a code snippet to find errors, understand its functionality, or suggest improvements. In a literary context, analyzing a text snippet could involve examining its language, themes, or literary devices. The nature of the analysis depends on the specific domain or context in which the snippet is presented.

std::pair myPair(0, 1.0f);
auto [a, b] = myPair; // binds myPair.first/second

re/ "Snippet" has always meant "a part taken out of a larger whole".
please show where the above "snippet" is present in a larger whole as i am unable to find it .

re/ "Specimen has always meant "a representative sample of a category"."
that is precisely what the "specimen" is as it is representative of the use of structured bindings to classes .

struct cSnippet{cSnippet()=delete;};

std::pair myPair(0, 1.0f);
auto [a, b] = myPair;

i wish to discuss deleted default constructors so present above code . is it a snippet or a specimen or an example or a sample or as extract or an excerpt ? if you insist on "snippet" i will state it has not been "snipped" from anything .

Quote:

unless the larger whole is referenced it is only confusing to the reader to indirectly refer to its irrelevant existence by use of term in question .

Quote:

as for specimen below i rather doubt any such code exists in a larger whole as no doubt the author is a fine programmer .

Quote:

i do not recall attempting to redefine the term only to utilize the correct one .

i will answer your questions after i obtain answers to mine .
