List crbegin() and crend() function in C++ STL


Given is the task to show the working of list crbegin() and crend() functions in C++.

The list::crbegin() and list::crend() functions are a part of the C++ standard template library.

<list> header file should be included to call these functions.

  • list::crbegin()

    This function returns the constant iterator which points to the end element of the list which will be the reverse beginning of the list. It can be used for Backtracking the list but it cannot change the values in the list which means crbegin() function can be used for iteration only.

Syntax

List_Name.crbegin()

Parameters

The function does not accept any parameter.

Return Value

The function returns a constant reverse iterator that points at the reverse beginning element of the list, that is, the end of the list.

  • list::crend()

    This function returns the constant iterator which points to the end element of the list. It can be used for Backtracking the list but it cannot change the values in the list which means crend() function can be used for iteration only.

Syntax

List_Name.crend()

Parameters

The function does not accept any parameter.

Return Value

The function returns a constant reverse iterator that points at the reverse end of the list, that is the beginning of the list.

Example

Input: list<int> Lt={99,34,55}
Output: The last element is 55

Explanation

Here we created a list with elements 99, 34 and 55. Then we called the crbegin() function that points at the reverse beginning of the list, that is the end of the list.

So when we print it, the output generated is 55, which is the last element of the list.

Approach used in the below program as follows

  • First create a list, let us say “Ld” of type int and assign it some values.
  • Then start a loop for traversing the list.
  • Then create an object “itr” of type auto inside the loop for storing the return values of crend() and crbegin() function. Initialize “itr” by giving it the first element of the list using the crend() function.
  • Then specify the terminating condition of the loop by writing “itr” not equal to the last element of the list using the crbegin() function.
  • Print the value of *itr.

Algorithm

Start
Step 1->In function main()
   Initialize list<int> Lt={}
   Loop For auto itr = Lt.crend() and itr != Lt.crbegin() and itr++
   Print *itr
   End
Stop

Example

 Live Demo

#include<iostream>
#include<list>
using namespace std;
int main() {
   list<int> Lt = { 33,44,55,66 };
   //Printing the elements of the list
   cout <<"The elements of the list are : " <<"\n";
   for (auto itr = Lt.crend(); itr != Lt.crbegin(); itr++)
   cout << *itr << " ";
   return 0;
}

Output

If we run the above code it will generate the following output −

The elements of the list are :
