It stores one value of type T1 and one value of type T2. It can be used as a return value for a function that needs to return two values, or as the value type of a \l{generic container}. Here's an example of a QPair that stores one QString and one \c double value: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qpair.qdoc 0 The components are accessible as public data members called \l first and \l second. For example: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qpair.qdoc 1 QPair's template data types (T1 and T2) must be \l{assignable data types}. You cannot, for example, store a QWidget as a value; instead, store a QWidget *. A few functions have additional requirements; these requirements are documented on a per-function basis. \sa {Generic Containers} */ /*! \typedef QPair::first_type The type of the first element in the pair (T1). \sa first */ /*! \typedef QPair::second_type The type of the second element in the pair (T2). \sa second */ /*! \variable QPair::first The first element in the pair. */ /*! \variable QPair::second The second element in the pair. */ /*! \fn QPair::QPair() Constructs an empty pair.
