[edit]Complexity

Constant.

[edit]Example

The following code uses empty to check if a std::set<int> contains any elements:

#include <iostream>#include <set>   int main(){std::set<int> numbers;std::cout<<std::boolalpha;std::cout<<"Initially, numbers.empty(): "<< numbers.empty()<<'\n';   numbers.insert(42); numbers.insert(19937);std::cout<<"After adding elements, numbers.empty(): "<< numbers.empty()<<'\n';}

Output:

Initially, numbers.empty(): true After adding elements, numbers.empty(): false
