void push_front( const T& value );	(1)
void push_front( T&& value );	(2)	(since C++11)

Prepends the given element value to the beginning of the container.

No iterators or references are invalidated.

Parameters

value

-

the value of the element to prepend

Return value

(none)

Complexity

Constant.

Exceptions

If an exception is thrown for any reason, these functions have no effect (strong exception safety guarantee).

Example

Run this code

#include <list>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    std::list<std::string> letters;
 
    letters.push_front("abc");
    std::string s{"def"};
    letters.push_front(std::move(s));
 
    std::cout << "std::list letters holds: ";
    for (auto&& e : letters)
        std::cout << std::quoted(e) << ' ';
 
    std::cout << "\nMoved-from string s holds: " << std::quoted(s) << '\n';
}

Possible output:

std::list letters holds: "def" "abc"
Moved-from string s holds: ""
