const_reference operator[](size_type pos) const; reference operator[](size_type pos);
1
#

Requires: pos <= size().

2
#

Returns: *(begin() + pos) if pos < size(). Otherwise, returns a reference to an object of type charT with value charT(), where modifying the object to any value other than charT() leads to undefined behavior.

3
#

Throws: Nothing.

4
#

Complexity: Constant time.

const_reference at(size_type pos) const; reference at(size_type pos);
5
#

Throws: out_­of_­range if pos >= size().

6
#

Returns: operator[](pos).

const charT& front() const; charT& front();
7
#

Requires: !empty().

8
#

Effects: Equivalent to: return operator[](0);

const charT& back() const; charT& back();
9
#

Requires: !empty().

10
#

Effects: Equivalent to: return operator[](size() - 1);
