| template< class U > reverse_iterator& operator=( const reverse_iterator<U>& other ); | | (constexpr since C++17) | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ----------------------- |

Assigns other.[current](../reverse%5Fiterator.html#current "cpp/iterator/reverse iterator") to [current](../reverse%5Fiterator.html#current "cpp/iterator/reverse iterator").

[edit] Parameters

other - iterator adaptor to assign

[edit] Return value

*this

[edit] Example

#include #include   int main() { const int a1[]{0, 1, 2}; int a2[]{0, 1, 2, 3}; short a3[]{40, 41, 42};   std::reverse_iterator<const int*> it1{std::crbegin(a1)}; it1 = std::reverse_iterator<int*>{std::rbegin(a2)}; // OK // it1 = std::reverse_iterator<short*>{std::rbegin(a3)}; // Compilation error: // incompatible pointer types std::reverse_iterator<const short*> it2{nullptr}; it2 = std::rbegin(a3); // OK // it2 = std::begin(a3); // Compilation error: no viable operator= overload std::cout << *it2 << '\n'; }
