<h3>Description</h3>
A Back Insertion Sequence is a <A href="Sequence.html">Sequence</A> where it is possible
to append an element to the end, or to access the last element,
in amortized constant time.  Back Insertion Sequences have special
member functions as a shorthand for those operations.

<h3>Complexity guarantees</h3>
Back, push back, and pop back are amortized constant time. <A href="#1">[1]</A>
<h3>Invariants</h3>
<Table border>
<TR>
<TD VAlign=top>
Symmetry of push and pop
</TD>
<TD VAlign=top>
<tt>push_back()</tt> followed by <tt>pop_back()</tt> is a null operation.

<h3>Notes</h3>
<P><A name="1">[1]</A>
This complexity guarantee is the only reason that <tt>back()</tt>,
<tt>push_back()</tt>, and <tt>pop_back()</tt> are defined: they provide
no additional functionality.  Not every sequence must define these
operations, but it is guaranteed that they are efficient if they
exist at all.
