Contents

[edit] Return value

true if the container is empty, false otherwise.

[edit] Complexity

Constant.

[edit] Example

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

#include <iostream>
#include <unordered_set>
 
int main()
{
    std::unordered_set<int> numbers;
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << "Initially, numbers.empty(): " << numbers.empty() << '\n';
 
    numbers.insert(42);
    numbers.insert(19937);
    std::cout << "After adding elements, numbers.empty(): " << numbers.empty() << '\n';
}

Output:

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