(3) (until

noexcept; C++20)

Returns a reverse iterator to the character following the last character of the
reversed string. It corresponds to the character preceding the first character of
the non-reversed string. This character acts as a placeholder, attempting to access
it results in undefined behavior.

Parameters¶

(none)

Return value¶

reverse iterator to the character following the last character

Complexity¶

Constant

Example¶

// Run this code

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

int main()
{
std::string s("A man, a plan, a canal: Panama");
{
std::string c;
std::copy(s.rbegin(), s.rend(), std::back_inserter(c));
std::cout << c <<'\n'; // "amanaP :lanac a ,nalp a ,nam A"
}

{
std::string c;
std::copy(s.crbegin(), s.crend(), std::back_inserter(c));
std::cout << c <<'\n'; // "amanaP :lanac a ,nalp a ,nam A"
}
}

Output:¶

amanaP :lanac a ,nalp a ,nam A
amanaP :lanac a ,nalp a ,nam A
