std::list::rend,std::list::crend(3)

NAME
std::list::rend,std::list::crend - std::list::rend,std::list::crend

Synopsis
   reverse_iterator rend(); (1) (noexcept since C++11)
   const_reverse_iterator rend() const; (2) (noexcept since C++11)
   const_reverse_iterator crend() const noexcept; (3) (since C++11)
   Returns a reverse iterator to the element following the last element of the reversed
   list. It corresponds to the element preceding the first element of the non-reversed
   list. This element acts as a placeholder, attempting to access it results in
   undefined behavior.

Parameters
   (none)

Return value
   Reverse iterator to the element following the last element.

Complexity
   Constant.

Notes
   libc++ backports crend() to C++98 mode.

Example
// Run this code
 #include <algorithm>
 #include <iostream>
 #include <numeric>
 #include <string>
 #include <list>
 int main()
 {
     std::list<int> nums{1, 2, 4, 8, 16};
     std::list<std::string> fruits{"orange", "apple", "raspberry"};
     std::list<char> empty;
     // Print list.
     std::for_each(nums.rbegin(), nums.rend(), [](const int n) { std::cout << n << ' '; });
     std::cout << '\n';
     // Sums all integers in the list nums (if any), printing only the result.
     std::cout << "Sum of nums: "
               << std::accumulate(nums.rbegin(), nums.rend(), 0) << '\n';
     // Prints the first fruit in the list fruits, checking if there is any.
     if (!fruits.empty())
         std::cout << "First fruit: " << *fruits.rbegin() << '\n';
     if (empty.rbegin() == empty.rend())
         std::cout << "list 'empty' is indeed empty.\n";
 }

Output:
 16 8 4 2 1
 Sum of nums: 31
 First fruit: raspberry
 list 'empty' is indeed empty.
