Example:

In the example below, the multiset::empty function is used to check whether the multiset is empty or not.

#include <iostream>
#include <set>
using namespace std;
 
int main (){
  multiset<int> MyMSet;

  cout<<boolalpha;

  cout<<"Is the Multiset empty?: "<<MyMSet.empty()<<"\n";

  cout<<"Add elements in the Multiset.\n";
  MyMSet.insert(10);
  MyMSet.insert(20);
  MyMSet.insert(30);

  cout<<"Now, Is the Multiset empty?: "<<MyMSet.empty()<<"\n";
  return 0;
}

The output of the above code will be:

Is the Multiset empty?: true
Add elements in the Multiset.
Now, Is the Multiset empty?: false
