23 Containers library [containers]

A deque is a sequence container that supports random access iterators ([random.access.iterators]). In addition, it supports constant time insert and erase operations at the beginning or the end; insert and erase in the middle take linear time. That is, a deque is especially optimized for pushing and popping elements at the beginning and end. Storage management is handled automatically.

A deque satisfies all of the requirements of a container, of a reversible container (given in tables in [container.requirements]), of a sequence container, including the optional sequence container requirements ([sequence.reqmts]), and of an allocator-aware container (Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware]). Descriptions are provided here only for operations on deque that are not described in one of these tables or for operations where there is additional semantic information.
