Increments or decrements the iterator. Inverse operations are applied to the underlying operator because of the reverse order.

1-2) Pre-increments or pre-decrements by one respectively.
3-4) Post-increments or post-decrements by one respectively.
5-6) Returns an iterator which is advanced by n or -n positions respectively.
7-8) Advances the iterator by n or -n positions respectively.

Parameters

n - position relative to current location.

Return value

1-2) *this.
3-4) a copy of *this that was made before the change.
5-6) reverse_iterator(base()-n) or reverse_iterator(base()+n) respectively.
7-8) *this.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <list>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector v {0, 1, 2, 3, 4};
    auto rv = std::reverse_iterator {v.rbegin()};
    std::cout << *(++rv) << ' '; // 3
    std::cout << *(--rv) << ' '; // 4
    std::cout << *(rv + 3) << ' '; // 1
    rv += 3;
    std::cout << rv[0] << ' '; // 1
    rv -= 3;
    std::cout << rv[0] << '\n'; // 4
 
    std::list l {5, 6, 7, 8};
    auto rl = std::reverse_iterator {l.rbegin()};
    std::cout << *(++rl) << ' '; // OK: 3
    std::cout << *(--rl) << ' '; // OK: 4
    // The following statements raise compilation error because the
    // underlying iterator does not model the random access iterator:
//  *(rl + 3) = 13;
//  rl += 3;
//  rl -= 3;
}

Output:

3 4 1 1 4
7 8
