Defined in header <iterator>
struct default_sentinel_t { } ;
(1) (since C++20)
inline constexpr default_sentinel_t default_sentinel { } ;
(2) (since C++20)
1) default_sentinel_t is an empty class type used to denote the end of a range. It can be used together with iterator types that know the bound of their range (e.g., std::counted_iterator ).
2) default_sentinel is a constant of type default_sentinel_t .

Example

Run this code 
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <list>
 
int main()
{
    std::list<int> l{3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6};
 
    std::ranges::copy(std::counted_iterator(std::begin(l), 4),
        std::default_sentinel, std::ostream_iterator<int>{std::cout, " "});
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output: 

3 1 4 1
