deque cbegin() in C++ STL
The cbegin() method in deque is a function in C++ STL which returns an iterator pointing to the first element of the container.
Syntax:
deque_name.cbegin()
Return value: It returns a constant iterator pointing to the first element of the deque. This means, that the iterator can be used to traverse the queue, but not to modify it. That is, functions like insert, erase would throw an error if called using a constant iterator.
The constant iterator should be used when you want no part of your code to modify the contents of the deque.
The following programs illustrates the function.
Program 1:
#include <deque> #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { // Create a deque deque<int> dq = { 2, 5, 7, 8, 6 }; // Print the first element of deque // using cbegin() method cout << "First element of the deque is: "; // Get the iterator pointing to the first element // And dereference it cout << *dq.cbegin(); } |

filter_none
Output:
First element of the deque is: 2
Program 2:
#include <deque> #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { // Create a deque deque<int> dq = { 1, 5, 2, 4, 7 }; // Insert an element at the front dq.push_front(45); // Insert an element at the back dq.push_back(56); // Print the first element of deque // using cbegin() method cout << "First element of the deque is: "; // Get the iterator pointing to the first element // And dereference it cout << *dq.cbegin(); } |
chevron_right
filter_none
Output:
First element of the deque is: 45
