Returns an iterator to the character following the last character of the string.
This character acts as a placeholder, attempting to access it results in undefined
behavior.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

iterator to the character following the last character

Complexity

Constant

Example

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iterator>
#include <string>

int main()
{
std::string s("Exemparl");
std::next_permutation(s.begin(), s.end());

std::string c;
std::copy(s.cbegin(), s.cend(), std::back_inserter(c));
std::cout << c <<'\n'; // "Exemplar"
}

Output:

Exemplar
