NAME¶

std::priority_queue::empty - std::priority_queue::empty

Synopsis¶

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

Checks if the underlying container has no elements, i.e. whether c.empty().

Parameters¶

(none)

Return value¶

true if the underlying container is empty, false otherwise

Complexity¶

Constant

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <queue>

int main()
{
std::cout << std::boolalpha;

std::priority_queue<int> container;

std::cout << "Initially, container.empty(): " << container.empty() << '\n';

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

Output:¶

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