-# in_place_t Struct
+# `in_place_t`, `in_place_type_t`, `in_place_index_t` struct
+
+Introduced in C++17.
+
+The `in_place_t`, `in_place_type_t`, and `in_place_index_t` tag types are used to select the overloaded constructor that creates the object in place in the desired way. For the types that use these tag types, they can also help avoid temporary copy or move operations.
 
 ## Syntax
 
 ```cpp
-struct in_place_t {
+struct in_place_t
+{
     explicit in_place_t() = default;
 };
 
 inline constexpr in_place_t in_place{};
 
 template <class T>
-    struct in_place_type_t {
-        explicit in_place_type_t() = default;
-    };
+struct in_place_type_t
+{
+    explicit in_place_type_t() = default;
+};
 
-template <class T> inline constexpr in_place_type_t<T> in_place_type{};
+template <class T>
+constexpr in_place_type_t<T> in_place_type{};
 
 template <size_t I>
-    struct in_place_index_t {
-        explicit in_place_index_t() = default;
-    };
+struct in_place_index_t
+{
+    explicit in_place_index_t() = default;
+};
 
-template <size_t I> inline constexpr in_place_index_t<I> in_place_index{};
+template <size_t I>
+constexpr in_place_index_t<I> in_place_index{};
 ```
+
+## Parameters
+
+*`I`*\
+The index where the object is created in place.
+
+*`T`*\
+The type of object to create.
+
+## Remarks
+
+- `in_place_t` indicates in-place construction of an object. Used to create objects in place inside a `std::optional`.
+- `in_place_type_t` indicates in-place construction of an object of a specific type. It's useful with `std::any` because `std::any` can hold any kind of type, so we need to specify the type it holds.
+- `in_place_index_t` indicates in-place construction of an object at a specific index. Use with `std::variant` to specify the index where the object is created.
+
+The following class types use these structs in their constructors: `expected`, [`optional`](optional-class.md), [`single_view`](single-view-class.md), [`any`](any-class.md) or [`variant`](variant-class.md).
+
+## Example
+
+```cpp
+#include <iostream>
+#include <optional>
+#include <any>
+#include <variant>
+
+// compile with /std:c++17
+
+struct MyStruct
+{
+    double value;
+    MyStruct(double v0, double v1 = 0) : value(v0 + v1) {}
+};
+
+int main()
+{
+    // Construct a MyStruct directly inside opt
+    std::optional<MyStruct> opt(std::in_place, 29.0, 13.0);
+
+    // Construct a MyStruct object inside an any object
+    std::any a(std::in_place_type<MyStruct>, 3.14);
+
+    // Construct a MyStruct object inside a vector at index 0
+    std::variant<MyStruct, int> v(std::in_place_index<0>, 2.718);
+
+    if (opt)
+    {
+        std::cout << opt->value << ", ";
+    }
+
+    std::cout << std::any_cast<MyStruct>(a).value << ", "
+              << std::get<0>(v).value;
+
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+```output
+42, 3.14, 2.718
+```

-Pairs are widely used in the C++ Standard Library. They are required both as the arguments and return values for various functions and as element types for containers such as [map class](../standard-library/map-class.md) and [multimap class](../standard-library/multimap-class.md). The \<utility> header is automatically included by \<map> to assist in managing their key/value pair type elements.
