operator>= (<iterator>)

Tests if the iterator object on the left side of the operator is greater than or equal to the iterator object on the right side.

template<class RandomIterator> 
   bool operator>=( 
      const reverse_iterator<RandomIterator>& _Left, 
      const reverse_iterator<RandomIterator>& _Right 
   );

Parameters

  • _Left
    An object of type iterator.

  • _Right
    An object of type iterator.

Return Value

true if the iterator on the left side of the expression is greater than or equal to the iterator on the right side of the expression; false if it is less than the iterator on the right.

Remarks

One iterator object is greater than or equal to another if it addresses the same element or an element that occurs later in the container than the element addressed by the other iterator object. One iterator object is less than another if it addresses an element that occurs earlier in the container than the element addressed by the other iterator object.

Example

// iterator_op_ge.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   int i;

   vector<int> vec;
   for (i = 0 ; i < 6 ; ++i )  {
      vec.push_back ( 2 * i );
      }
   
   vector <int>::iterator vIter;

   cout << "The initial vector vec is: ( ";
   for ( vIter = vec.begin( ) ; vIter != vec.end( ); vIter++)
      cout << *vIter << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;

   vector <int>::reverse_iterator rVPOS1 = vec.rbegin ( ), 
           rVPOS2 = vec.rbegin ( ) + 1;
   
   cout << "The iterator rVPOS1 initially points to the "
           << "first element\n in the reversed sequence: "
           << *rVPOS1 << "." << endl;

   cout << "The iterator rVPOS2 initially points to the "
           << "second element\n in the reversed sequence: "
           << *rVPOS2 << "." << endl;

   if ( rVPOS1 >= rVPOS2 )
      cout << "The iterator rVPOS1 is greater than or "
              << "equal to the iterator rVPOS2." << endl;
   else
      cout << "The iterator rVPOS1 is less than "
              << "the iterator rVPOS2." << endl;

   rVPOS1++;
   cout << "The iterator rVPOS1 now points to the second "
           << "element\n in the reversed sequence: "
           << *rVPOS1 << "." << endl;

   if ( rVPOS1 >= rVPOS2 )
      cout << "The iterator rVPOS1 is greater than or "
              << "equal to the iterator rVPOS2." << endl;
   else
      cout << "The iterator rVPOS1 is less than "
              << "the iterator rVPOS2." << endl;
}
The initial vector vec is: ( 0 2 4 6 8 10 ).
The iterator rVPOS1 initially points to the first element
 in the reversed sequence: 10.
The iterator rVPOS2 initially points to the second element
 in the reversed sequence: 8.
The iterator rVPOS1 is less than the iterator rVPOS2.
The iterator rVPOS1 now points to the second element
 in the reversed sequence: 8.
The iterator rVPOS1 is greater than or equal to the iterator rVPOS2.
