◆ empty()

abstract bool Qore::AbstractQuantifiedIterator::empty ( )
pure virtual

returns True if the object to iterate is empty; False if not

Returns
True if the object to iterate is empty; False if not
Example:
if (i.empty())
printf("object is empty\n");
string printf(string fmt,...)
Outputs the string passed to standard output, using the first argument as a format string; does not e...
