std::map<Key,T,Compare,Allocator>::rbegin, std::map<Key,T,Compare,Allocator>::crbegin

Since C++11

Returns a reverse iterator to the first element of the reversed map. It corresponds to the last element of the non-reversed map. If the map is empty, the returned iterator is equal to rend().

# Declarations

reverse_iterator rbegin();

(noexcept since C++11)

const_reverse_iterator rbegin() const;

(noexcept since C++11)

const_reverse_iterator crbegin() const noexcept;

(since C++11)

# Return value

Reverse iterator to the first element.

# Notes

The underlying iterator of the returned reverse iterator is the end iterator. Hence the returned iterator is invalidated if and when the end iterator is invalidated.

libc++ backports crbegin() to C++98 mode.

# Example

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <string_view>
#include <map>
 
int main()
{
    const std::map<int, std::string_view> coins
    {
        {10, "dime"},
        {100, "dollar"},
        {50, "half dollar"},
        {5, "nickel"},
        {1, "penny"},
        {25, "quarter"}
    }; // initializer entries in name alphabetical order
 
    std::cout << "US coins in circulation, largest to smallest denomination:\n";
    for (auto it = coins.crbegin(); it != coins.crend(); ++it)
        std::cout << std::setw(11) << it->second << " = ¢" << it->first << '\n';
}
