std::list<T,Allocator>:: rbegin, std::list<T,Allocator>:: crbegin

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.

Notes

The underlying iterator of the returned reverse iterator is the end iterator . Hence the returned iterator is invalidated if and when the end iterator is invalidated.

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

Example

#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";
}

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