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, 4>:
Run this code
#include <cassert> #include <array> int main() { std::array<char, 4> letters{'a', 'b', 'c', 'd'}; assert(letters.front() == 'a'); }
