reverse_iterator::operator+


public member function
reverse_iterator operator+ (difference_type n) const;

Addition operator

Returns a reverse iterator pointing to n elements after the element the object points to.

A global overload for operator+ with the same behavior also exists for the case where the reverse_iterator is the right-hand side element of the sum:
1
2
3
4
 
template <class Iterator>
  reverse_iterator<Iterator> operator+ (
    typename reverse_iterator<Iterator>::difference_type n,
    const reverse_iterator<Iterator>& x);


Parameters

n
Number of elements to offset.
difference_type is a member type defined as an alias of the base iterator's own difference type (generally, a integral type).


Return value

The reverse iterator itself (*this).

// reverse_iterator::operator+ example
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main () {
  vector<int> myvector;
  for (int i=0; i<10; i++) myvector.push_back(i);	// myvector: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  typedef vector<int>::iterator iter_int;

  reverse_iterator<iter_int> rev_iterator;
  
  rev_iterator = myvector.rbegin() +3;

  cout << "The fourth element from the end is : " << *rev_iterator << endl;

  return 0;
}


Output:

The fourth element from the end is : 6
