list::empty (STL/CLR)

 

The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The latest version of this topic can be found at list::empty (STL/CLR).

Tests whether no elements are present.

Syntax

bool empty();  

Remarks

The member function returns true for an empty controlled sequence. It is equivalent to list::size (STL/CLR)() == 0. You use it to test whether the list is empty.

Example

// cliext_list_empty.cpp   
// compile with: /clr   
#include <cliext/list>   
  
int main()   
    {   
    cliext::list<wchar_t> c1;   
    c1.push_back(L'a');   
    c1.push_back(L'b');   
    c1.push_back(L'c');   
  
// display initial contents " a b c"   
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1)   
        System::Console::Write(" {0}", elem);   
    System::Console::WriteLine();   
    System::Console::WriteLine("size() = {0}", c1.size());   
    System::Console::WriteLine("empty() = {0}", c1.empty());   
  
// clear the container and reinspect   
    c1.clear();   
    System::Console::WriteLine("size() = {0}", c1.size());   
    System::Console::WriteLine("empty() = {0}", c1.empty());   
    return (0);   
    }  
  
 a b c

() = 3

() = False
