multiset::end
Returns an iterator that addresses the location succeeding the last element in a multiset.
const_iterator end( ) const;
iterator end( );
Return Value
A bidirectional iterator that addresses the location succeeding the last element in a multiset. If the multiset is empty, then multiset::end == multiset::begin.
Remarks
end is used to test whether an iterator has reached the end of its multiset. The value returned by end should not be dereferenced.
Example
// multiset_end.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <set>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
multiset <int> ms1;
multiset <int> :: iterator ms1_Iter;
multiset <int> :: const_iterator ms1_cIter;
ms1.insert( 1 );
ms1.insert( 2 );
ms1.insert( 3 );
ms1_Iter = ms1.end( );
ms1_Iter--;
cout << "The last element of ms1 is " << *ms1_Iter << endl;
ms1.erase( ms1_Iter );
// The following 3 lines would err as the iterator is const
// ms1_cIter = ms1.end( );
// ms1_cIter--;
// ms1.erase( ms1_cIter );
ms1_cIter = ms1.end( );
ms1_cIter--;
cout << "The last element of ms1 is now " << *ms1_cIter << endl;
}
The last element of ms1 is 3
The last element of ms1 is now 2
