std::multiset::end

 iterator end();const_iterator end() const;

 iterator end() noexcept;const_iterator end() const noexcept;

Return iterator to end

Returns an iterator referring to the past-the-end element in the multiset container.

The past-the-end element is the theoretical element that would follow the last element in the multiset container. It does not point to any element, and thus shall not be dereferenced.

Because the ranges used by functions of the standard library do not include the element pointed by their closing iterator, this function is often used in combination with multiset::begin to specify a range including all the elements in the container.

If the container is empty, this function returns the same as multiset::begin.

Parameters

none

Return Value

An iterator to the past-the-end element in the container.

If the multiset object is const-qualified, the function returns a const_iterator. Otherwise, it returns an iterator.

Member types iterator and const_iterator are bidirectional iterator types pointing to elements.

Example

// multiset::begin/end
#include <iostream>
#include <set>
int main ()
{
 int myints[] = {15,98,77,77,39};
 std::multiset<int> mymultiset (myints,myints+5);
 std::cout << "mymultiset contains:";
 for (std::multiset<int>::iterator it=mymultiset.begin(); it!=mymultiset.end(); ++it )
 std::cout << ' ' << *it;
 std::cout << '\n';
 return 0;
}

Output:

mymultiset contains: 15 39 77 77 98

Complexity

Constant.

Iterator validity

No changes.

Data races

The container is accessed (neither the const nor the non-const versions modify the container).
Concurrently accessing the elements of a multiset is safe.

Exception safety

No-throw guarantee: this member function never throws exceptions.
The copy construction or assignment of the returned iterator is also guaranteed to never throw.
