std::basic_string::empty(3)

NAME
std::basic_string::empty - std::basic_string::empty

Synopsis
   bool empty() const; (noexcept since C++11)
                        (constexpr since C++20)
   Checks if the string has no characters, i.e. whether begin() == end().

Parameters
   (none)

Return value
   true if the string is empty, false otherwise

Complexity
   Constant.

Example
// Run this code
 #include <iostream>
 #include <string>
 int main()
 {
     std::string s;
     std::boolalpha(std::cout);
     std::cout << "s.empty():" << s.empty() << "\t s:'" << s << "'\n";
     s = "Exemplar";
     std::cout << "s.empty():" << s.empty() << "\t s:'" << s << "'\n";
     s = "";
     std::cout << "s.empty():" << s.empty() << "\t s:'" << s << "'\n";
 }

Output:
 s.empty():true s:''
 s.empty():false s:'Exemplar'
 s.empty():true s:''
