std::ranges::reverse - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

Defined in header
Call signature
template< std::bidirectional_iterator I, std::sentinel_for<I> S > requires std::permutable<I> constexpr I reverse( I first, S last ); (1) (since C++20)
template< ranges::bidirectional_range R > requires std::permutable<ranges::iterator_t<R>> constexpr ranges::borrowed_iterator_t<R> reverse( R&& r ); (2) (since C++20)
  1. Reverses the order of the elements in the range [first, last).

Behaves as if applying ranges::iter_swap to every pair of iterators first + i, last - i - 1 for each integer i, where 0 ≤ i < (last - first) / 2.

  1. Same as (1), but uses r as the range, as if using ranges::begin(r) as first and ranges::end(r) as last.

The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids), that is:

Contents

[edit] Parameters

first, last - the iterator-sentinel pair defining the range of elements to reverse
r - the range of elements to reverse

[edit] Return value

An iterator equal to last.

[edit] Complexity

Exactly (last - first) / 2 swaps.

[edit] Notes

Implementations (e.g. MSVC STL) may enable vectorization when the iterator type models contiguous_iterator and swapping its value type calls neither non-trivial special member function nor ADL-found swap.

[edit] Possible implementation

See also implementations in libstdc++ and MSVC STL.

[edit] Example

#include #include #include #include   int main() { std::string s {"ABCDEF"}; std::cout << s << " → "; std::ranges::reverse(s.begin(), s.end()); std::cout << s << " → "; std::ranges::reverse(s); std::cout << s << " │ ";   std::array a {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; for (auto e : a) std::cout << e << ' '; std::cout << "→ "; std::ranges::reverse(a); for (auto e : a) std::cout << e << ' '; std::cout << '\n'; }

Output:

ABCDEF → FEDCBA → ABCDEF │ 1 2 3 4 5 → 5 4 3 2 1
