bool empty() const; | (since C++11) |
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::forward_list<int> contains any elements:
#include <forward_list>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::forward_list<int> numbers;
std::cout << "Initially, numbers.empty(): " << numbers.empty() << '\n';
numbers.push_front(42);
numbers.push_front(13317);
std::cout << "After adding elements, numbers.empty(): " << numbers.empty() << '\n';
}Output:
Initially, numbers.empty(): 1 After adding elements, numbers.empty(): 0
