hash_multiset::rbegin

Returns an iterator addressing the first element in a reversed hash_multiset.

const_reverse_iterator rbegin( ) const; 
reverse_iterator rbegin( );

Return Value

A reverse bidirectional iterator addressing the first element in a reversed hash_multiset or addressing what had been the last element in the unreversed hash_multiset.

Remarks

rbegin is used with a reversed hash_multiset just as begin is used with a hash_multiset.

If the return value of rbegin is assigned to a const_reverse_iterator, then the hash_multiset object cannot be modified. If the return value of rbegin is assigned to a reverse_iterator, then the hash_multiset object can be modified.

rbegin can be used to iterate through a hash_multiset backwards.

In Visual C++ .NET 2003, members of the <hash_map> and <hash_set> header files are no longer in the std namespace, but rather have been moved into the stdext namespace. See The stdext Namespace for more information.

Example

// hash_multiset_rbegin.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <hash_set>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   using namespace stdext;
   hash_multiset <int> hms1;
   hash_multiset <int>::iterator hms1_Iter;
   hash_multiset <int>::reverse_iterator hms1_rIter;

   hms1.insert( 10 );
   hms1.insert( 20 );
   hms1.insert( 30 );

   hms1_rIter = hms1.rbegin( );
   cout << "The first element in the reversed hash_multiset is "
        << *hms1_rIter << "." << endl;

   // begin can be used to start an iteration 
   // throught a hash_multiset in a forward order
   cout << "The hash_multiset is: ";
   for ( hms1_Iter = hms1.begin( ) ; hms1_Iter != hms1.end( );
         hms1_Iter++ )
      cout << *hms1_Iter << " ";
   cout << endl;

   // rbegin can be used to start an iteration 
   // throught a hash_multiset in a reverse order
   cout << "The reversed hash_multiset is: ";
   for ( hms1_rIter = hms1.rbegin( ) ; hms1_rIter != hms1.rend( );
         hms1_rIter++ )
      cout << *hms1_rIter << " ";
   cout << endl;

   // A hash_multiset element can be erased by dereferencing to its key 
   hms1_rIter = hms1.rbegin( );
   hms1.erase ( *hms1_rIter );

   hms1_rIter = hms1.rbegin( );
   cout << "After the erasure, the first element "
        << "in the reversed hash_multiset is "<< *hms1_rIter << "."
        << endl;
}

The first element in the reversed hash_multiset is 30.
The hash_multiset is: 10 20 30 
The reversed hash_multiset is: 30 20 10 
After the erasure, the first element in the reversed hash_multiset is 20.
