Returns an iterator to the reverse-end of the given range.

1) Returns an iterator to the reverse-end of the possibly const-qualified container
or view c.
2) Returns std::reverse_iterator<T*> to the reverse-end of the array array.
3) Returns std::reverse_iterator<const T*> to the reverse-end of the
std::initializer_list il.
4) Returns an iterator to the reverse-end of the const-qualified container or view
c.

Parameters

c - a container or view with a rend member function
array - an array of arbitrary type
il - an initializer_list

Return value

1) c.rend()
2) std::reverse_iterator<T*>(array)
3) std::reverse_iterator<const T*>(il.begin())
4) c.rend()

Exceptions

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

Overloads

Custom overloads of rend may be provided for classes and enumerations that do not
expose a suitable rend() member function, yet can be iterated.

Overloads of rend found by argument-dependent lookup can be used to (since C++20)
customize the behavior of std::ranges::rend and std::ranges::crend.

Notes

The overload for std::initializer_list is necessary because it does not have a
member function rend.

Example

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>

int main()
{
int a[] = {4, 6, -3, 9, 10};
std::cout << "C-style array `a` backwards: ";
std::copy(std::rbegin(a), std::rend(a), std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));

auto il = { 3, 1, 4 };
std::cout << "\nstd::initializer_list `il` backwards: ";
std::copy(std::rbegin(il), std::rend(il), std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));

std::cout << "\nstd::vector `v` backwards: ";
std::vector<int> v = {4, 6, -3, 9, 10};
std::copy(std::rbegin(v), std::rend(v), std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
}

Output:

C-style array `a` backwards: 10 9 -3 6 4
std::initializer_list `il` backwards: 4 1 3
std::vector `v` backwards: 10 9 -3 6 4
