constexpr bool empty() const; | (since C++14) |
Checks if the container has no elements, i.e. whether begin() == end().
Parameters
(none).
Return value
true if the container is empty, false otherwise.
Exceptions
noexcept specification: noexceptComplexity
Constant.
Example
The following code uses empty to check if a std::array contains any elements:
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::array<int, 4> numbers {3, 1, 4, 1};
std::array<int, 0> no_numbers;
std::cout << "numbers.empty(): " << numbers.empty() << '\n';
std::cout << "no_numbers.empty(): " << no_numbers.empty() << '\n';
}Output:
numbers.empty(): 0 no_numbers.empty(): 1
