24.3 Sequence containers [sequences]

24.3.8 Class template deque [deque]

24.3.8.1 Overview [deque.overview]

1
#
A deque is a sequence container that supports 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 meets all of the requirements of a container ([container.reqmts]), of a reversible container ([container.rev.reqmts]), of an allocator-aware container ([container.alloc.reqmts]), and of a sequence container, including the optional sequence container requirements ([sequence.reqmts]).
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.
