Maps are associative containers that store elements in a mapped fashion. Each element has a key value and a mapped value. No two mapped values can have same key values.
map::empty()
empty() function is used to check if the map container is empty or not. Syntax :
mapname.empty()
Parameters :
No parameters are passed.
Returns :
True, if map is empty
False, Otherwise
Examples:
Input  : map 
         mymap['a']=10;
         mymap['b']=20;
         mymap.empty();
Output : False

Input  : map 
         mymap.empty();
Output : True
Errors and Exceptions 1. It has a no exception throw guarantee. 2. Shows error when a parameter is passed. CPP
// Non Empty map example
// CPP program to illustrate
// Implementation of empty() function
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    map<char, int> mymap;
    mymap['a'] = 1;
    mymap['b'] = 2;
    if (mymap.empty()) {
        cout << "True";
    }
    else {
        cout << "False";
    }
    return 0;
}
Output:
False
