deque::empty


public member function
bool empty ( ) const;

Test whether container is empty

Returns whether the deque container is empty, i.e. whether its size is 0.

This function does not modify the content of the container in any way. To clear the content of a deque container, use deque::clear.

Parameters

none

Return Value

true if the container size is 0, false otherwise.

// deque::empty
#include <iostream>
#include <deque>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  deque<int> mydeque;
  int sum (0);

  for (int i=1;i<=10;i++) mydeque.push_back(i);

  while (!mydeque.empty())
  {
     sum += mydeque.front();
     mydeque.pop_front();
  }

  cout << "total: " << sum << endl;
  
  return 0;
}

The example initializes the content of the container to a sequence of numbers (form 1 to 10). It then pops the elements one by one until it is empty and calculates their sum.

Output:
total: 55


Complexity

Constant.
