std::counted_iterator<I>::operator[]

constexpr decltype(auto) operator[]( std::iter_difference_t<I> n ) const
    requires std::random_access_iterator<I>;
 (since C++20)

Accesses the element at specified relative location. The behavior is undefined if n is not less than the recorded distance to the end.

Parameters

n - position relative to current location

Return value

this->base()[n].

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <array>
#include <list>
 
int main()
{
    std::array array{'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'};
 
    std::counted_iterator it{ array.begin() + 1, /*count:*/ 3 };
 
    for (int i{}; i != it.count(); ++i)
        std::cout << it[i] << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
 
    for (int i{}; i != it.count(); ++i)
        it[i] += ('E' - 'A');
 
    for (int i{}; i != it.count(); ++i)
        std::cout << it[i] << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
 
    std::list list {'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'W'};
    std::counted_iterator it2{ list.begin(), 3 };
//  char x = it2[0]; // Error: requirement `random_access_iterator` was not satisfied.
    std::cout << *it2 << '\n'; // OK
}

Output:

B C D
F G H
X
