Deduction guides(C++17)

 

iterator begin();	(1)	(noexcept since C++11)
const_iterator begin() const;	(2)	(noexcept since C++11)
const_iterator cbegin() const noexcept;	(3)	(since C++11)

Returns an iterator to the first element of the set.

If the set is empty, the returned iterator will be equal to end().

Parameters

(none)

Return value

Iterator to the first element.

Complexity

Constant.

Notes

Because both iterator and const_iterator are constant iterators (and may in fact be the same type), it is not possible to mutate the elements of the container through an iterator returned by any of these member functions.

libc++ backports cbegin() to C++98 mode.

Example

Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <set>
 
int main()
{
    std::set<int> set{3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5};
    std::for_each(set.cbegin(), set.cend(), [](int x)
    {
        std::cout << x << ' ';
    });
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

1 2 3 4 5 6 9
