NAME

std::deque::at - std::deque::at

Synopsis

reference at( size_type pos );
const_reference at( size_type pos ) const;

Returns a reference to the element at specified location pos, with bounds checking.

If pos is not within the range of the container, an exception of type
std::out_of_range is thrown.

Parameters

pos - position of the element to return

Return value

Reference to the requested element.

Exceptions

std::out_of_range if !(pos < size()).

Complexity

Constant.

Example

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <deque>

int main()
{
std::deque<int> data = { 1, 2, 4, 5, 5, 6 };

// Set element 1
data.at(1) = 88;

// Read element 2
std::cout << "Element at index 2 has value " << data.at(2) << '\n';

std::cout << "data size = " << data.size() << '\n';

try {
// Set element 6
data.at(6) = 666;
} catch (std::out_of_range const& exc) {
std::cout << exc.what() << '\n';
}

// Print final values
std::cout << "data:";
for (int elem : data)
std::cout << " " << elem;
std::cout << '\n';
}

Possible output:

Element at index 2 has value 4
data size = 6
deque::_M_range_check: __n (which is 6)>= this->size() (which is 6)
data: 1 88 4 5 5 6
