std::span<T,Extent>::rend

constexpr reverse_iterator rend() const noexcept;

Returns a reverse iterator to the element following the last element of the reversed span. It corresponds to the element preceding the first element of the non-reversed span. This element acts as a placeholder, attempting to access it results in undefined behavior.

Parameters

(none).

Return value

Reverse iterator to the element following the last element.

Complexity

Constant.

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <span>
#include <string_view>
 
void ascending(const std::span<const std::string_view> data,
               const std::string_view term)
{
    std::for_each(data.begin(), data.end(),
        [](const std::string_view x) { std::cout << x << " "; });
    std::cout << term;
}
 
void descending(const std::span<const std::string_view> data,
               const std::string_view term)
{
    std::for_each(data.rbegin(), data.rend(),
        [](const std::string_view x) { std::cout << x << " "; });
    std::cout << term;
}
 
int main()
{
    constexpr std::string_view bars[]{ "▁","▂","▃","▄","▅","▆","▇","█" };
    ascending(bars, " ");
    descending(bars, "\n");
}

Output:

▁ ▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ █  █ ▇ ▆ ▅ ▄ ▃ ▂ ▁
