std::forward_list<T,Allocator>::clear
From cppreference.com
< cpp | container | forward list
void clear() noexcept; |
(since C++11) | |
Erases all elements from the container.
Invalidates any references, pointers, and iterators referring to contained elements. Any past-the-end iterator remains valid.
Parameters
(none)
Return value
(none)
Complexity
Linear in the size of the container, i.e., the number of elements.
Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <string_view> #include <forward_list> void print_info(std::string_view rem, const std::forward_list<int>& v) { std::cout << rem << "{ "; for (const auto& value : v) std::cout << value << ' '; std::cout << "}\n"; } int main() { std::forward_list<int> container{1, 2, 3}; print_info("Before clear: ", container); container.clear(); print_info("After clear: ", container); }
Output:
Before clear: { 1 2 3 } After clear: { }
