// clearing deques
#include <iostream>
#include <deque>

int main ()
{
  unsigned int i;
  std::deque<int> mydeque;
  mydeque.push_back (100);
  mydeque.push_back (200);
  mydeque.push_back (300);

  std::cout << "mydeque contains:";
  for (std::deque<int>::iterator it = mydeque.begin(); it!=mydeque.end(); ++it)
    std::cout << ' ' << *it;
  std::cout << '\n';

  mydeque.clear();
  mydeque.push_back (1101);
  mydeque.push_back (2202);

  std::cout << "mydeque contains:";
  for (std::deque<int>::iterator it = mydeque.begin(); it!=mydeque.end(); ++it)
    std::cout << ' ' << *it;
  std::cout << '\n';

  return 0;
}


Output:
mydeque contains: 100 200 300
mydeque contains: 1101 2202

Complexity

Linear in size (destructions).

Iterator validity

All iterators, pointers and references related to this container are invalidated.

Data races

The container is modified.
All contained elements are modified.

Exception safety

No-throw guarantee: this member function never throws exceptions.
