bool empty() const;

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:  

noexcept

  (since C++11)

Complexity

Constant

Example

The following code uses empty to check if a std::deque<int> contains any elements:

run this code

#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::deque<int> numbers;
    std::cout << "Initially, numbers.empty(): " << numbers.empty() << '\n';
 
    numbers.push_back(42);
    numbers.push_back(13317); 
    std::cout << "After adding elements, numbers.empty(): " << numbers.empty() << '\n';
}

Output:

Initially, numbers.empty(): 1
After adding elements, numbers.empty(): 0
