    43     \class QPair
       
    44     \brief The QPair class is a template class that stores a pair of items.
       
    45 
       
    46     \ingroup tools
       
    47     
       
    48     QPair\<T1, T2\> can be used in your application if the STL \c
       
    49     pair type is not available. It stores one value of type T1 and
       
    50     one value of type T2. It can be used as a return value for a
       
    51     function that needs to return two values, or as the value type of
       
    52     a \l{generic container}.
       
    53 
       
    54     Here's an example of a QPair that stores one QString and one \c
       
    55     double value:
       
    56 
       
    57     \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qpair.qdoc 0
       
    58 
       
    59     The components are accessible as public data members called \l
       
    60     first and \l second. For example:
       
    61 
       
    62     \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qpair.qdoc 1
       
    63 
       
    64     QPair's template data types (T1 and T2) must be \l{assignable
       
    65     data types}. You cannot, for example, store a QWidget as a value;
       
    66     instead, store a QWidget *. A few functions have additional
       
    67     requirements; these requirements are documented on a per-function
       
    68     basis.
