How to use the set::rbegin and set::rend STL functions in Visual C++

   <set>
				

   template<class _K, class _Pr, class _A>
   class set {
   public:
   // Function 1:

      const_reverse_iterator rbegin() const;

   // Function 2:
      const_reverse_iterator rend() const;
   }

// SetRbeginRend.cpp:
//      Illustrates how to use the rbegin function to get a reverse
//      bidirectional iterator that points just beyond the end of
//      the controlled sequence. It also illustrates how to use
//      the rend function to get a reverse bidirectional iterator
//      that points at the first element of the sequence.
// 
// Functions:
// 
//    rbegin      Returns a reverse bidirectional iterator that points
//                just beyond the end of the controlled sequence.
//    rend        Returns a reverse bidirectional iterator that points
//                at the first element of the sequence.
