std::ranges::forward_range

Since C++20

Header: <ranges>

The forward_range concept is a refinement of range for which ranges::begin returns a model of forward_iterator.

# Declarations

template< class T >
concept forward_range =
ranges::input_range<T> && std::forward_iterator<ranges::iterator_t<T>>;

(since C++20)

# Example

#include <forward_list>
#include <queue>
#include <ranges>
#include <span>
#include <stack>
#include <tuple>
 
const char* str{"not a forward range"};
const char str2[] = "a forward range";
