# std::deque<T,Allocator>::push_front

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container‎ | deque

void push_front( const T& value ); | (1) |
void push_front( T&& value ); | (2) | (since C++11)

Prepends the given element value to the beginning of the container.

All iterators (including the end() iterator) are invalidated. No references are invalidated.

### Parameters

value | - | the value of the element to prepend

### Return value

(none)

### Complexity

Constant.

### Exceptions

If an exception is thrown for any reason, these functions have no effect (strong exception safety guarantee).

### Example

Run this code

    #include <deque>
    #include <iomanip>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>

    int main()
    {
        std::deque<std::string> letters;

        letters.push_front("abc");
        std::string s{"def"};
        letters.push_front(std::move(s));

        std::cout << "std::deque letters holds: ";
        for (auto&& e : letters)
            std::cout << std::quoted(e) << ' ';

        std::cout << "\nMoved-from string s holds: " << std::quoted(s) << '\n';
    }

Possible output:

    std::deque letters holds: "def" "abc"
    Moved-from string s holds: ""
