queue::pop


public member function
void pop ( );

Delete next element

Removes the next element in the queue, effectively reducing its size by one. The element removed is the "oldest" element in the queue whose value can be retrieved by calling member queue::front.

This calls the removed element's destructor.

This member function effectively calls the member function pop_front of the underlying container object.

Parameters

none

Return value

// queue::push/pop
#include <iostream>
#include <queue>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  queue<int> myqueue;
  int myint;

  cout << "Please enter some integers (enter 0 to end):\n";

  do {
    cin >> myint;
    myqueue.push (myint);
  } while (myint);

  cout << "myqueue contains: ";
  while (!myqueue.empty())
  {
    cout << " " << myqueue.front();
    myqueue.pop();
  }

  return 0;
}

The example uses push to add a new elements to the queue, which are then popped out in the same order.

Complexity

Constant.
