public member function

std::list::rbegin

<list>
      reverse_iterator rbegin();
const_reverse_iterator rbegin() const;
Return reverse iterator to reverse beginning
Returns a reverse iterator referring to the last element in the list container.

rbegin refers to the element right before the one that would be referred to by member end.

Parameters

none

Return Value

A reverse iterator to the reverse beginning of the sequence.

Both reverse_iterator and const_reverse_iterator are member types. In the list class template, these are reverse bidirectional iterators, defined as reverse_iterator<iterator> and reverse_iterator<const_iterator> respectively.

// list::rbegin/rend
#include <iostream>
#include <list>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  list<int> mylist;
  for (int i=1; i<=5; i++) mylist.push_back(i);

  cout << "mylist contains:";
  list<int>::reverse_iterator rit;
  for ( rit=mylist.rbegin() ; rit != mylist.rend(); ++rit )
    cout << " " << *rit;

  cout << endl;

  return 0;
}


Output:
mylist contains: 5 4 3 2 1

Complexity

Constant.
