constexpr const_reference operator[]( size_type pos ) const; |  | (since C++14)

Returns a reference to the element at specified location `pos`. No bounds checking is performed.

### [edit] Parameters

pos | - | position of the element to return

### [edit] Return value

Reference to the requested element.

### [edit] Example

The following code uses `operator[]` read from and write to a std::deque<int>:

Run this code

    #include <deque>
    #include <iostream>

    int main()
    {
        std::deque<int> numbers {2, 4, 6, 8};

        std::cout << "Second element: " << numbers[1] << '\n';

        numbers[0] = 5;

        std::cout << "All numbers:";
        for (auto i : numbers) {
            std::cout << ' ' << i;
        }
        std::cout << '\n';
    }

Output:

    Second element: 4
    All numbers: 5 4 6 8
