set::rend
Returns an iterator that addresses the location succeeding the last element in a reversed set.
const_reverse_iterator rend( ) const;
reverse_iterator rend( );
Return Value
A reverse bidirectional iterator that addresses the location succeeding the last element in a reversed set (the location that had preceded the first element in the unreversed set).
Remarks
rend is used with a reversed set just as end is used with a set.
If the return value of rend is assigned to a const_reverse_iterator, then the set object cannot be modified. If the return value of rend is assigned to a reverse_iterator, then the set object can be modified. The value returned by rend should not be dereferenced.
rend can be used to test to whether a reverse iterator has reached the end of its set.
Example
// set_rend.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <set>
#include <iostream>
int main() {
using namespace std;
set <int> s1;
set <int>::iterator s1_Iter;
set <int>::reverse_iterator s1_rIter;
set <int>::const_reverse_iterator s1_crIter;
s1.insert( 10 );
s1.insert( 20 );
s1.insert( 30 );
s1_rIter = s1.rend( );
s1_rIter--;
cout << "The last element in the reversed set is "
<< *s1_rIter << "." << endl;
// end can be used to terminate an iteration
// throught a set in a forward order
cout << "The set is: ";
for ( s1_Iter = s1.begin( ) ; s1_Iter != s1.end( ); s1_Iter++ )
cout << *s1_Iter << " ";
cout << "." << endl;
// rend can be used to terminate an iteration
// throught a set in a reverse order
cout << "The reversed set is: ";
for ( s1_rIter = s1.rbegin( ) ; s1_rIter != s1.rend( ); s1_rIter++ )
cout << *s1_rIter << " ";
cout << "." << endl;
s1_rIter = s1.rend( );
s1_rIter--;
s1.erase ( *s1_rIter );
s1_rIter = s1.rend( );
--s1_rIter;
cout << "After the erasure, the last element in the "
<< "reversed set is " << *s1_rIter << "." << endl;
}
Output
The last element in the reversed set is 10.
The set is: 10 20 30 .
The reversed set is: 30 20 10 .
After the erasure, the last element in the reversed set is 20.
