constexpr reference front();	(1)	(since C++26)
constexpr const_reference front() const;	(2)	(since C++26)

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::inplace_vector<char, 4>:

Run this code

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