Prototype

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

      const_reverse_iterator rbegin() const;

   // Function 2:
      const_reverse_iterator rend() const;
   }
				
NOTE: The class/parameter names in the prototype may not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.

Description

The rbegin function returns a reverse bidirectional iterator that points just beyond the end of the controlled sequence. The rend function returns a reverse bidirectional iterator that points at the first element of the sequence.

// SetRbeginRend.cpp:
//      Illustrates how to use the rbegin function to get a reverse

//      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

//    rend        Returns a reverse bidirectional iterator that points
//                at the first element of the sequence.

Program Output

s1.insert(5)
s1.insert(10)
s1.insert(15)
s1.insert(20)
s1 has 20 in its set.
s1 has 15 in its set.
s1 has 10 in its set.
s1 has 5 in its set.
