#### distance

###### Description

Returns the distance between two iterators.

###### Synopsis

    template<
        typename I,
        typename J
        >
    struct distance
    {
        typedef unspecified type;
    };

Table 1.16. Parameters

Parameter | Requirement | Description
--- | --- | ---
`I`, `J` | Models of Forward Iterator into the same sequence | The start and end points of the distance to be measured

###### Expression Semantics

    result_of::distance<I, J>::type

Return type: A model of MPL Integral Constant.

Semantics: Returns the distance between iterators of types `I` and `J`.
