list::pop_back public member function
void pop_back ( );

Delete last element

Removes the last element in the list container, effectively reducing the list size by one.

This calls the removed element's destructor.

Parameters

none

Return value

none

Example

// list::pop_back
#include <iostream>
#include <list>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  list<int> mylist;
  int sum (0);
  mylist.push_back (100);
  mylist.push_back (200);
  mylist.push_back (300);

  while (!mylist.empty())
  {
    sum+=mylist.back();
    mylist.pop_back();
  }

  cout << "The elements of mylist summed " << sum << endl;

  return 0;
}
In this example, the elements are popped out from the end of the list after they are added up in the sum. Output:
The elements of mylist summed 600

Complexity

Constant.
