Returns a reverse iterator to the character following the last character of the reversed string. It corresponds to the character preceding the first character of the non-reversed string. This character acts as a placeholder, attempting to access it results in undefined behavior.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

Reverse iterator to the character following the last character.

Complexity

Constant.

Notes

In libstdc++, crend() is not available in C++98 mode.

Example

Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    std::string p("[A man, a plan, a canal: Panama]");
    std::string q;
 
    std::copy(p.crbegin(), p.crend(), std::back_inserter(q));
    std::cout << "q = " << q << '\n';
 
    std::copy(q.crbegin(), q.crend(), p.rbegin());
    std::cout << "p = " << p << '\n';
}

Output:

q = ]amanaP :lanac a ,nalp a ,nam A[
p = ]amanaP :lanac a ,nalp a ,nam A[
