Returns a reference to the first element in the container.
Calling front on an empty container causes undefined behavior.
Parameters
(none)
Return value
reference to the first element
Complexity
Constant
Notes
For a container c, the expression c.front() is equivalent to *c.begin().
Example
The following code uses front to display the first element of a std::array<char, 6>:
Run this code
#include <array> #include <iostream> int main() { std::array<char, 6> letters {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'}; if (!letters.empty()) std::cout << "The first character is '" << letters.front() << "'.\n"; }
Output:
The first character is 'a'.
