NAME¶

std::multiset::end,std::multiset::cend - std::multiset::end,std::multiset::cend

Synopsis¶

iterator end(); (1) (noexcept since C++11)
const_iterator end() const; (2) (noexcept since C++11)
const_iterator cend() const noexcept; (3) (since C++11)

Returns an iterator to the element following the last element of the multiset.

This element acts as a placeholder; attempting to access it results in undefined
behavior.

Parameters¶

(none)

Return value¶

Iterator to the element following the last element.

Complexity¶

Constant.

Notes¶

Because both iterator and const_iterator are constant iterators (and may in fact be
the same type), it is not possible to mutate the elements of the container through
an iterator returned by any of these member functions.

libc++ backports cend() to C++98 mode.

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <set>
#include <string>

int main()
{
const std::multiset<std::string> words =
{
"some", "not", "sorted", "words",
"will", "come", "out", "sorted",
};

for (auto it = words.begin(); it != words.end(); )
{
auto count = words.count(*it);
std::cout << *it << ":\t" << count << '\n';
std::advance(it, count); // all count elements have equivalent keys
}
}

Output:¶

come: 1
not: 1
out: 1
some: 1
sorted: 2
will: 1
words: 1
