C++
 
Containers library
 
std::forward_list
 
bool empty() const noexcept;
 (since C++11)
(until C++20)
[[nodiscard]] bool empty() const noexcept;
 (since C++20)

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

Parameters

(none)

Return value

true if the container is empty, false otherwise

Complexity

Constant.

Example

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

Run this code
#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
