deque
Class
Arranges elements of a given type in a linear arrangement and, like a vector, enables fast random access to any element, and efficient insertion and deletion at the back of the container. However, unlike a vector, the deque
class also supports efficient insertion and deletion at the front of the container.
Syntax
template <class Type, class Allocator =allocator<Type>>
class deque
Parameters
Type
The element data type to be stored in the deque
.
Allocator
The type that represents the stored allocator object that encapsulates details about the deque
's allocation and deallocation of memory. This argument is optional, and the default value is allocator<Type>
.
Remarks
The choice of container type should be based in general on the type of searching and inserting required by the application. Vectors
should be the preferred container for managing a sequence when random access to any element is at a premium and insertions or deletions of elements are only required at the end of a sequence. The performance of the list container is superior when efficient insertions and deletions (in constant time) at any location within the sequence is at a premium. Such operations in the middle of the sequence require element copies and assignments proportional to the number of elements in the sequence (linear time).
Deque
reallocation occurs when a member function must insert or erase elements of the sequence:
If an element is inserted into an empty sequence, or if an element is erased to leave an empty sequence, then iterators earlier returned by
begin
andend
become invalid.If an element is inserted at the first position of the
deque
, then all iterators, but no references, that designate existing elements become invalid.If an element is inserted at the end of the
deque
, thenend
and all iterators, but no references, that designate existing elements become invalid.If an element is erased at the front of the
deque
, only that iterator and references to the erased element become invalid.If the last element is erased from the end of the
deque
, only that iterator to the final element and references to the erased element become invalid.
Otherwise, inserting or erasing an element invalidates all iterators and references.

const_reference at(size_type pos) const;
Parameters
pos
The subscript (or position number) of the element to reference in the deque
.
Return Value
If pos
is greater than the size of the deque
, at
throws an exception.
Remarks
If the return value of at
is assigned to a const_reference
, the deque
object can't be modified. If the return value of at
is assigned to a reference
, the deque
object can be modified.
Example
// deque_at.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
deque <int> c1;
c1.push_back( 10 );
c1.push_back( 20 );
const int& i = c1.at( 0 );
int& j = c1.at( 1 );

cout << "The second element is " << j << endl;
}
The first element is 10
The second element is 20
back
Returns a reference to the last element of the deque
.
reference back();
const_reference back() const;
Return Value
The last element of the deque
. If the deque
is empty, the return value is undefined.
Remarks
If the return value of back
is assigned to a const_reference
, the deque
object can't be modified. If the return value of back
is assigned to a reference
, the deque
object can be modified.
When compiled by using _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL
defined as 1 or 2, a runtime error will occur if you attempt to access an element in an empty deque
. See Checked Iterators for more information.
Example
// deque_back.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
deque <int> c1;
c1.push_back( 10 );
c1.push_back( 11 );
int& i = c1.back( );
const int& ii = c1.front( );
cout << "The last integer of c1 is " << i << endl;
i--;
cout << "The next-to-last integer of c1 is " << ii << endl;
}
The last integer of c1 is 11
The next-to-last integer of c1 is 10
begin
Returns an iterator addressing the first element in the deque
.
const_iterator begin() const;
iterator begin();
Return Value
A random-access iterator addressing the first element in the deque
or to the location succeeding an empty deque
.
Remarks
If the return value of begin
is assigned to a const_iterator
, the deque
object can't be modified. If the return value of begin
is assigned to an iterator
, the deque
object can be modified.
Example
// deque_begin.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
deque <int> c1;
deque <int>::iterator c1_Iter;
deque <int>::const_iterator c1_cIter;
c1.push_back( 1 );
c1.push_back( 2 );
c1_Iter = c1.begin( );
cout << "The first element of c1 is " << *c1_Iter << endl;
*c1_Iter = 20;
c1_Iter = c1.begin( );
cout << "The first element of c1 is now " << *c1_Iter << endl;
// The following line would be an error because iterator is const
// *c1_cIter = 200;
}
The first element of c1 is 1
The first element of c1 is now 20
cbegin
Returns a const
iterator that addresses the first element in the range.
const_iterator cbegin() const;
Return Value
A const
random-access iterator that points at the first element of the range, or the location just beyond the end of an empty range (for an empty range, cbegin() == cend()
).
Remarks
With the return value of cbegin
, the elements in the range can't be modified.
You can use this member function in place of the begin()
member function to guarantee that the return value is const_iterator
. Typically, it's used in conjunction with the auto
type deduction keyword, as shown in the following example. In the example, consider Container
to be a modifiable (non- const
) container of any kind that supports begin()
and cbegin()
.
auto i1 = Container.begin();
// i1 is Container<T>::iterator
auto i2 = Container.cbegin();
// i2 is Container<T>::const_iterator
cend
Returns a const
iterator that addresses the location just beyond the last element in a range.
const_iterator cend() const;
Return Value
A random-access iterator that points just beyond the end of the range.
Remarks
cend
is used to test whether an iterator has passed the end of its range.
You can use this member function in place of the end()
member function to guarantee that the return value is const_iterator
. Typically, it's used in conjunction with the auto
type deduction keyword, as shown in the following example. In the example, consider Container
to be a modifiable (non- const
) container of any kind that supports end()
and cend()
.
auto i1 = Container.end();
// i1 is Container<T>::iterator
auto i2 = Container.cend();
// i2 is Container<T>::const_iterator
The value returned by cend
shouldn't be dereferenced.
clear
Erases all the elements of a deque
.
void clear();
Example
// deque_clear.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
deque <int> c1;
c1.push_back( 10 );
c1.push_back( 20 );
c1.push_back( 30 );
cout << "The size of the deque is initially " << c1.size( ) << endl;
c1.clear( );
cout << "The size of the deque after clearing is " << c1.size( ) << endl;
}
The size of the deque is initially 3
The size of the deque after clearing is 0
const_iterator
A type that provides a random-access iterator that can access and read a const
element in the deque
.
typedef implementation-defined const_iterator;
Remarks
A type const_iterator
can't be used to modify the value of an element.
Example
See the example for back
.
const_pointer
Provides a pointer to a const
element in a deque
.
typedef typename Allocator::const_pointer const_pointer;
Remarks
A type const_pointer
can't be used to modify the value of an element. An iterator
is more commonly used to access a deque
element.
const_reference
A type that provides a reference to a const
element stored in a deque
for reading and performing const
operations.
typedef typename Allocator::const_reference const_reference;
Remarks
A type const_reference
can't be used to modify the value of an element.
Example
// deque_const_ref.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
deque <int> c1;
c1.push_back( 10 );
c1.push_back( 20 );
const deque <int> c2 = c1;
const int &i = c2.front( );
const int &j = c2.back( );
cout << "The first element is " << i << endl;
cout << "The second element is " << j << endl;
// The following line would cause an error as c2 is const
// c2.push_back( 30 );
}
The first element is 10
The second element is 20
const_reverse_iterator
A type that provides a random-access iterator that can read any const
element in the deque
.
typedef std::reverse_iterator<const_iterator> const_reverse_iterator;
Remarks
A type const_reverse_iterator
can't modify the value of an element and is used to iterate through the deque
in reverse.
Example
See the example for rbegin
for an example of how to declare and use an iterator.
crbegin
Returns a const
iterator to the first element in a reversed deque
.
const_reverse_iterator crbegin() const;
Return Value
A const
reverse random-access iterator addressing the first element in a reversed deque
or addressing what had been the last element in the unreversed deque
.
Remarks
With the return value of crbegin
, the deque
object can't be modified.
Example
// deque_crbegin.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
deque <int> v1;
deque <int>::iterator v1_Iter;
deque <int>::const_reverse_iterator v1_rIter;
v1.push_back( 1 );
v1.push_back( 2 );
v1_Iter = v1.begin( );
cout << "The first element of deque is "
<< *v1_Iter << "." << endl;
v1_rIter = v1.crbegin( );
cout << "The first element of the reversed deque is "
<< *v1_rIter << "." << endl;
}
The first element of deque is 1.
The first element of the reversed deque is 2.
crend
Returns a const
iterator that addresses the location succeeding the last element in a reversed deque
.
const_reverse_iterator crend() const;
Return Value
A const
reverse random-access iterator that addresses the location succeeding the last element in a reversed deque
(the location that had preceded the first element in the unreversed deque
).
Remarks
crend
is used with a reversed deque
just as array::cend
is used with a deque
.
With the return value of crend
(suitably decremented), the deque
object can't be modified.
crend
can be used to test to whether a reverse iterator has reached the end of its deque
.
The value returned by crend
shouldn't be dereferenced.
Example
// deque_crend.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
deque <int> v1;
deque <int>::const_reverse_iterator v1_rIter;
v1.push_back( 1 );
v1.push_back( 2 );
for ( v1_rIter = v1.rbegin( ) ; v1_rIter != v1.rend( ) ; v1_rIter++ )
cout << *v1_rIter << endl;
}

; the second one also specifies the allocator type (_Al
) to be used.
The third constructor specifies a repetition of a specified number (count
) of elements of the default value for class Type
.
The fourth and fifth constructors specify a repetition of (Count
) elements of value val
.
The sixth constructor specifies a copy of the deque
Right
.
The seventh and eighth constructors copy the range [First, Last)
of a deque

const_reference front() const;
Return Value
If the deque
is empty, the return is undefined.
Remarks
If the return value of front
is assigned to a const_reference
, the deque
object can't be modified. If the return value of front
is assigned to a reference
, the deque
object can be modified.
When compiled by using _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL
defined as 1 or 2, a runtime error will occur if you attempt to access an element in an empty deque
. See Checked Iterators for more information.
Example
// deque_front.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
deque <int> c1;
c1.push_back( 10 );
c1.push_back( 11 );
int& i = c1.front( );
const int& ii = c1.front( );

get_allocator
Returns a copy of the allocator object used to construct the deque
.
Allocator get_allocator() const;
Return Value
The allocator used by the deque
.
Remarks
Allocators for the deque
class specify how the class manages storage. The default allocators supplied with C++ Standard Library container classes are sufficient for most programming needs. Writing and using your own allocator class is an advanced C++ topic.
Example
// deque_get_allocator.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
// The following lines declare objects that use the default allocator.
deque <int> c1;
deque <int, allocator<int> > c2 = deque <int, allocator<int> >( allocator<int>( ) );
// c3 will use the same allocator class as c1
deque <int> c3( c1.get_allocator( ) );
deque <int>::allocator_type xlst = c1.get_allocator( );
// You can now call functions on the allocator class used by c1
}

The first two insert functions return an iterator that points to the position where the new element was inserted into the deque
.
Remarks
Any insertion operation can be expensive.
iterator
A type that provides a random-access iterator that can read or modify any element in a deque
.
typedef implementation-defined iterator;
Remarks
A type iterator
can be used to modify the value of an element.
Example
See the example for begin
.
max_size
Returns the maximum length of the deque
.
size_type max_size() const;
Return Value
The maximum possible length of the deque
.

, the result is undefined.
Remarks
If the return value of operator[]
is assigned to a const_reference
, the deque
object can't be modified. If the return value of operator[]
is assigned to a reference
, the deque
object can be modified.
When compiled by using _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL
defined as 1 or 2, a runtime error will occur if you attempt to access an element outside the bounds of the deque
. See Checked Iterators for more information.
Example
// deque_op_ref.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
deque <int> c1;

reverse_iterator rbegin();
Return Value
A reverse random-access iterator addressing the first element in a reversed deque
or addressing what had been the last element in the unreversed deque
.
Remarks
rbegin
is used with a reversed deque
just as begin
is used with a deque
.
If the return value of rbegin
is assigned to a const_reverse_iterator
, the deque
object can't be modified. If the return value of rbegin
is assigned to a reverse_iterator

#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
deque <int> c1;
deque <int>::iterator c1_Iter;

).
Remarks
rend
is used with a reversed deque
just as end
is used with a deque
.
If the return value of rend
is assigned to a const_reverse_iterator
, the deque
object can't be modified. If the return value of rend
is assigned to a reverse_iterator
, the deque
object can be modified.
rend
can be used to test whether a reverse iterator has reached the end of its deque
.
The value returned by rend
shouldn't be dereferenced.

// compile with: /EHsc
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
deque <int> c1;

cout << endl;
c1_rIter = c1.rend( );
c1_rIter--; // Decrementing the reverse iterator moves it backward
// in the reversed deque (to the last element here)
*c1_rIter = 40; // This modification of the last element would
// have caused an error if a const_reverse
// iterator had been declared (as noted above)
cout << "The modified reversed deque is: ";
for ( c1_rIter = c1.rbegin( ); c1_rIter != c1.rend( ); c1_rIter++ )
cout << *c1_rIter << " ";

resize
Specifies a new size for a deque
.
void resize(size_type _Newsize);
void resize(size_type _Newsize, Type val);
Parameters
_Newsize
The new size of the deque
.
val
The value of the new elements to be added to the deque
if the new size is larger that the original size. If the value is omitted, the new elements are assigned the default value for the class.
Remarks
If the deque
's size
is less than _Newsize
, elements are added to the deque
until it reaches the size _Newsize
.
If the deque
's size
is larger than _Newsize
, the elements closest to the end of the deque
are deleted until the deque
reaches the size _Newsize
.
If the present size of the deque
is the same as _Newsize
, no action is taken.
size
reflects the current size of the deque
.
Example
// deque_resize.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
deque <int> c1;
c1.push_back( 10 );

friend void swap(deque<Type, Allocator>& left, deque<Type, Allocator>& right) template <class Type, class Allocator>
void swap(deque<Type, Allocator>& left, deque<Type, Allocator>& right);
Parameters
right
The deque
providing the elements to be swapped, or the deque
whose elements are to be exchanged with those of the deque
left
.
left
A deque
whose elements are to be exchanged with those of the deque
right
.
Example
// deque_swap.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
deque <int> c1, c2, c3;
deque <int>::iterator c1_Iter;
c1.push_back( 1 );
c1.push_back( 2 );
c1.push_back( 3 );
c2.push_back( 10 );
c2.push_back( 20 );
c3.push_back( 100 );
cout << "The original deque c1 is:";
for ( c1_Iter = c1.begin( ); c1_Iter != c1.end( ); c1_Iter++ )
cout << " " << *c1_Iter;
cout << endl;
c1.swap( c2 );
cout << "After swapping with c2, deque c1 is:";
for ( c1_Iter = c1.begin( ); c1_Iter != c1.end( ); c1_Iter++ )
cout << " " << *c1_Iter;
cout << endl;
swap( c1,c3 );
cout << "After swapping with c3, deque c1 is:";
for ( c1_Iter = c1.begin( ); c1_Iter != c1.end( ); c1_Iter++ )
cout << " " << *c1_Iter;
cout << endl;
swap<>(c1, c2);
cout << "After swapping with c2, deque c1 is:";
for ( c1_Iter = c1.begin( ); c1_Iter != c1.end( ); c1_Iter++ )
cout << " " << *c1_Iter;
cout << endl;
}
The original deque c1 is: 1 2 3
After swapping with c2, deque c1 is: 10 20
After swapping with c3, deque c1 is: 100
After swapping with c2, deque c1 is: 1 2 3
value_type
A type that represents the data type stored in a deque
.
typedef typename Allocator::value_type value_type;
Remarks
value_type
is a synonym for the template parameter Type
.
Example
// deque_value_type.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
deque<int>::value_type AnInt;
AnInt = 44;
cout << AnInt << endl;
}
44
