Returns a reverse iterator to the first character of the reversed string. It
corresponds to the last character of the non-reversed string.

Parameters¶

(none)

Return value¶

reverse iterator to the first character

Complexity¶

Constant

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iterator>
#include <string>

int main()
{
std::string s("Exemplar!");
*s.rbegin() = 'y';
std::cout << s << '\n'; // "Exemplary"

std::string c;
std::copy(s.crbegin(), s.crend(), std::back_inserter(c));
std::cout << c << '\n'; // "yralpmexE"
}

Output:¶

Exemplary
yralpmexE
