NAME¶

std::list::rbegin,std::list::crbegin - std::list::rbegin,std::list::crbegin

Synopsis¶

reverse_iterator rbegin(); (until C++11)
reverse_iterator rbegin() noexcept; (since C++11)
const_reverse_iterator rbegin() const; (until C++11)
const_reverse_iterator rbegin() const noexcept; (since C++11)
const_reverse_iterator crbegin() const noexcept; (since C++11)

Returns a reverse iterator to the first element of the reversed list. It corresponds
to the last element of the non-reversed list. If the list is empty, the returned
iterator is equal to rend().

Parameters¶

(none)

Return value¶

Reverse iterator to the first element.

Complexity¶

Constant.

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <numeric>
#include <string>
#include <list>

int main()
{
std::list<int> nums {1, 2, 4, 8, 16};
std::list<std::string> fruits {"orange", "apple", "raspberry"};
std::list<char> empty;

// Print list.
std::for_each(nums.rbegin(), nums.rend(), [](const int n) { std::cout << n << ' '; });
std::cout << '\n';

// Sums all integers in the list nums (if any), printing only the result.
std::cout << "Sum of nums: "
<< std::accumulate(nums.rbegin(), nums.rend(), 0) << '\n';

// Prints the first fruit in the list fruits, checking if there is any.
if (!fruits.empty())
std::cout << "First fruit: " << *fruits.rbegin() << '\n';

if (empty.rbegin() == empty.rend())
std::cout << "list 'empty' is indeed empty.\n";
}

Output:¶

16 8 4 2 1
Sum of nums: 31
First fruit: raspberry
list 'empty' is indeed empty.
