reference front();
(1) (constexpr since C++20)
const_reference front() const;
(2) (constexpr since C++20)

Returns a reference to the first element in the container.

Calling front on an empty container causes undefined behavior.

Contents

[edit] Parameters

(none)

[edit] Return value

Reference to the first element.

[edit] Complexity

Constant.

[edit] Notes

For a container c, the expression c.front() is equivalent to *c.begin().

[edit] Example

The following code uses front to display the first element of a std::vector<char>:

#include <cassert>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<char> letters{'a', 'b', 'c', 'd'};
    assert(letters.front() == 'a');
}
