---

---

Description

The C++ function std::multimap::crbegin() returns a constant reverse iterator which points to the last element of the container i.e reverser beginning of container.

Declaration

Following is the declaration for std::multimap::crbegin() function form std::map header.

C++11

const_reverse_iterator crbegin() const noexcept;

Parameters

None

Return value

Returns a constant reverse iterator.

Exceptions

This member function never throws exception.

Time complexity

Constant i.e. O(1)

Example

The following example shows the usage of std::multimap::crbegin() function.

#include <iostream>
#include <map>

using namespace std;

int main(void) {
   /* Multimap with duplicates */
   multimap<char, int> m {
         {'a', 1},
         {'a', 2},
         {'b', 3},
         {'c', 4},
         {'c', 5},
               };

   cout << "Multimap contains following elements in reverse order" << endl;

   for (auto it = m.crbegin(); it != m.crend(); ++it)
      cout << it->first << " = " << it->second << endl;

   return 0;
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Multimap contains following elements in reverse order
c = 5
c = 4
b = 3
a = 2
a = 1
