Does std::stack expose iterators?

Question

Does the std::stack in the C++ STL expose any iterators of the underlying container or should I use that container directly?

Answer 1

Stack does not have iterators, by definition of stack. If you need stack with iterators, you'll need to implement it yourself on top of other container (std::list, std::vector, etc). Stack doc is here.

P.S. According to a comment i got from Iraimbilanja, std::stack by default uses std::deque for implementation.
