# std::deque::empty

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container‎ | deque

[edit template]

bool empty() const; |  |

Checks if the container has no elements, i.e. whether begin() == end().

### [edit] Parameters

(none)

### [edit] Return value

true if the container is empty, false otherwise

### [edit] Exceptions

(none) | (until C++11)
`noexcept` specification: noexcept | (since C++11)

### [edit] Complexity

Constant.

### [edit] Example

[edit]

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
