Example

The following example shows the usage of std::deque::pop_back() function.

#include <iostream>
#include <deque>

using namespace std;

int main(void) {

   deque<int> d = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

   cout << "Contents of deque before pop_back operation." << endl;

   for (int i = 0; i < d.size(); ++i)
      cout << d[i] << endl;

   d.pop_back();
   d.pop_back();

   cout << endl;

   cout << "Contents of deque before pop_back operation." << endl;

   for (int i = 0; i < d.size(); ++i)
      cout << d[i] << endl;

   return 0;
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Contents of deque before pop_back operation.
