How to use push_front and pop_front STL functions in Visual C++

MORE INFORMATION

Required Header

   <deque>
				

Prototype

   void push_front(const T& x);
   void pop_front();
				

NOTE: The class/parameter names in the prototype may not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.

Description

The push_front function inserts an element with value x at the beginning of the deque container. The pop_front function removes the first element of the deque container, which must be non-empty.

Sample Code

NOTE: In the first line of the sample code section, /GX is equivalent to /EHsc in Visual C++ .NET or in Visual C++ 2005 and is set by default.
