18<p>A <a class="reference" href="./variadic-sequence.html">Variadic Sequence</a> is a member of a family of sequence classes with both
19<em>variadic</em> and <em>numbered</em> forms. If <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">seq</span></tt> is a generic name for some
20<a class="reference" href="./variadic-sequence.html">Variadic Sequence</a>, its <em>variadic form</em> allows us to specify a sequence of
21<em>n</em> elements <em>t</em><sub>1</sub>,<em>t</em><sub>2</sub>,... <em>t</em><sub>n</sub>, for any <em>n</em> from 0 up to a

27</div>
28</blockquote>
29<p>By contrast, each <em>numbered</em> sequence form accepts the exact number of elements
30that is encoded in the name of the corresponding class template:</p>
31<blockquote>
32<div class="line-block">
33<div class="line"><tt class="literal"><span class="pre">seq</span></tt><em>n</em><tt class="literal"><span class="pre">&lt;</span></tt><em>t</em><sub>1</sub>,<em>t</em><sub>2</sub>,... <em>t</em><sub>n</sub><tt class="literal"><span class="pre">&gt;</span></tt></div>
34</div>
35</blockquote>
36<p>For numbered forms, there is no predefined top limit for <em>n</em>, aside from compiler
37limitations on the number of template parameters.</p>
38<!-- The variadic form of sequence ``seq`` is defined in
39``<boost/mpl/``\ *seq*\ ``.hpp>`` header.
40The numbered forms are defined in batches of 10.  -->
