C++ Vector Library - begin() Function
Description
The C++ function std::vector::begin() returns a random access iterator pointing to the first element of the vector.
Declaration
Following is the declaration for std::vector::begin() function form std::vector header.
C++98
iterator begin(); const_iterator begin() const;
C++11
iterator begin() noexcept; const_iterator begin() const noexcept;
Parameters
None
Return value
Returns a random access iterator pointing to the first element of the vector.
Exceptions
This member function never throws exception.
Time complexity
Constant i.e. O(1)
Example
The following example shows the usage of std::vector::begin() function.
#include <iostream> #include <vector> using namespace std; int main(void) { auto il = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; vector<int> v(il); for (auto it = v.begin(); it != v.end(); ++it) cout << *it << endl; return 0; }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
1 2 3 4 5
