Is there a built in function for length of boost::numeric::interval

Question

I'm typing the following in my code

boost::numeric::interval<double> foo = ...;
double length = std::abs(foo.upper() - foo.lower());

It surprises me I can't find a simple utility in boost::numeric::interval that calculates the length. I'd expect a length function so that I can do

boost::numeric::interval<double> foo = ...;
double length = length(foo);

Is this either

• missing from the library as an oversight
• missing from the library for good reason as it doesn't fit the concept
• there but under another name which I've failed to see

Obviously I can write a simple inline function to do this but I'm a bit surprised that I have to given that I see functions like min and max

Answer 1

I just found it after I posted the question

Answer is "width"

boost::numeric::interval<double> foo = ...;
double length = width(foo);
