bool empty() const;

bool empty() const noexcept;

(until C++20)
[[nodiscard]] bool empty() const noexcept;

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

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::vector<int> numbers;
    std::cout << "Initially, numbers.empty(): " << numbers.empty() << '\n';

    numbers.push_back(42);
    std::cout << "After adding elements, numbers.empty(): " << numbers.empty() << '\n';
}

Output:

Initially, numbers.empty(): true
After adding elements, numbers.empty(): false
