, the expression c.front()
is equivalent to *c.begin()
.
Example
The following code uses front
to display the first element of a std::vector<char>
:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | #include <vector> #include <iostream> int main() { std::vector< char > letters { 'o' , 'm' , 'g' , 'w' , 't' , 'f' }; if (!letters.empty()) { std::cout << "The first character is: " << letters.front() << '\n' ; } } |
Output:
1 | The first character is o |
