std::multimap<Key,T,Compare,Allocator>::rend, std::multimap<Key,T,Compare,Allocator>::crend

(1)
reverse_iterator rend();
(until C++11)
reverse_iterator rend() noexcept;
(since C++11)
(2)
const_reverse_iterator rend() const;
(until C++11)
const_reverse_iterator rend() const noexcept;
(since C++11)
const_reverse_iterator crend() const noexcept;
(3) (since C++11)

Returns a reverse iterator to the element following the last element of the reversed multimap. It corresponds to the element preceding the first element of the non-reversed multimap. This element acts as a placeholder, attempting to access it results in undefined behavior.

Parameters

(none).

Return value

Reverse iterator to the element following the last element.

Complexity

Constant.

Example

#include <chrono>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <string_view>
using namespace std::chrono;
 
// until C++20 chrono operator<< ready
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const year_month_day& ymd)
{
    return os << std::setfill('0') << static_cast<int>(ymd.year()) << '/'
              << std::setw(2) << static_cast<unsigned>(ymd.month()) << '/'
              << std::setw(2) << static_cast<unsigned>(ymd.day());
}
 
int main()
{
    const std::multimap<year_month_day, int> messages
    {
        { February/17/2023 , 10 },
        { February/17/2023 , 20 },
        { February/16/2022 , 30 },
        { October/22/2022  , 40 },
        { June/14/2022     , 50 },
        { November/23/2021 , 60 },
        { December/10/2022 , 55 },
        { December/12/2021 , 45 },
        { April/1/2020     , 42 },
        { April/1/2020     , 24 },
    };
 
    std::cout << "Messages received, reverse date order:\n";
    for (auto it = messages.crbegin(); it != messages.crend(); ++it)
        std::cout << it->first << " : " << it->second << '\n';
}

Possible output:

Messages received, reverse date order:
2023/02/17 : 20
2023/02/17 : 10
2022/12/10 : 55
2022/10/22 : 40
2022/06/14 : 50
2022/02/16 : 30
2021/12/12 : 45
2021/11/23 : 60
2020/04/01 : 24
2020/04/01 : 42
