reverse_iterator rbegin();
(1) (noexcept since C++11)
const_reverse_iterator rbegin() const;
(2) (noexcept since C++11)
const_reverse_iterator crbegin() const noexcept;
(3) (since C++11)

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

Parameters

(none)

Return value

Reverse iterator to the first element.

Complexity

Constant.

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 <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <map>
 
int main()
{
    std::multimap<std::string, int> map
    {
        {"█", 1},
        {"▒", 5},
        {"░", 3},
        {"▓", 7},
        {"▓", 8},
        {"░", 4},
        {"▒", 6},
        {"█", 2}
    };
 
    std::cout << "Print out in reverse order using const reverse iterators:\n";
    std::for_each(map.crbegin(), map.crend(),
        [](std::pair<const std::string, int> const& e)
        {
            std::cout << "{ \"" << e.first << "\", " << e.second << " };\n";
        });
 
    map.rbegin()->second = 42; // OK: non-const value is modifiable
//  map.crbegin()->second = 42; // Error: cannot modify the const value
}

Possible output:

Print out in reverse order using const reverse iterators:
{ "▓", 8 };
{ "▓", 7 };
{ "▒", 6 };
{ "▒", 5 };
{ "░", 4 };
{ "░", 3 };
{ "█", 2 };
{ "█", 1 };
