# PetscSpaceTensorGetNumSubspaces
Get the number of spaces in the tensor product space 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscfe.h" 
PetscErrorCode PetscSpaceTensorGetNumSubspaces(PetscSpace sp, PetscInt *numTensSpaces)
```

## Input Parameter

- ***sp  -*** the function space object



## Output Parameter

- ***numTensSpaces -*** the number of spaces





## Note
The name NumSubspaces is misleading because it is actually getting the number of defining spaces of the tensor product space, not a number of Subspaces of it
