std::multiset<Key,Compare,Allocator>::empty

bool empty() const;
 (until C++11) 
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::multiset<int> contains any elements:

#include <set>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::multiset<int> numbers;
    std::cout << "Initially, numbers.empty(): " << numbers.empty() << '\n';
 
    numbers.insert(42);
    numbers.insert(13317); 
    std::cout << "After adding elements, numbers.empty(): " << numbers.empty() << '\n';
}

Output:

Initially, numbers.empty(): 1
After adding elements, numbers.empty(): 0
