   c1.push_back( 1 );
   c1.push_back( 2 );
   cout << "The first element is: " << c1.front( ) << endl;
   cout << "The second element is: " << c1.back( ) << endl;

   c1.pop_front( );
   cout << "After deleting the element at the beginning of the list, "
         "the first element is: " << c1.front( ) << endl;
}
