::cbegin - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

iterator begin() noexcept;	(1)	(since C++23) (constexpr since C++26)
const_iterator begin() const noexcept;	(2)	(since C++23) (constexpr since C++26)
const_iterator cbegin() const noexcept;	(3)	(since C++23) (constexpr since C++26)

Returns an iterator to the first element of *this.

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

[edit] Return value

Iterator to the first element.

[edit] 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.

[edit] Example

#include #include #include int main() { std::flat_multiset 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'; }
