[edit] Example

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

#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
