 (5)

(constexpr since C++17)
Returns an iterator to the reverse-end of the given range.
1,2) Returns c.rend(), which is typically an iterator one past the reverse-end of the sequence represented by c.
[edit] Parameters
 c
 -
 a container or view with a 
rend member function
 array
 -
 an array of arbitrary type
 il
 -
 an std::initializer_list 
[edit] Return value
1,2) c.rend()
3) std::reverse_iterator <T*>(array)
4) std::reverse_iterator <const T*>(il.begin())
5) c.rend()
[edit] Exceptions
May throw implementation-defined exceptions.
[edit] Overloads
Custom overloads of rend may be provided for classes and enumerations that do not expose a suitable rend() member function, yet can be iterated.
Overloads of rend found by argument-dependent lookup can be used to customize the behavior of std::ranges::rend  and std::ranges::crend .
[edit] Notes
The overload for std::initializer_list  is necessary because it does not have a member function rend.
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <algorithm> #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <vector> int main() { int a[]{4, 6, -3, 9, 10}; std::cout << "C-style array `a` backwards: "; std::copy (std::rbegin (a), std::rend(a), std::ostream_iterator <int>(std::cout, " ")); auto il = {3, 1, 4}; std::cout << "\nstd::initializer_list `il` backwards: "; std::copy (std::rbegin (il), std::rend(il), std::ostream_iterator <int>(std::cout, " ")); std::vector <int> v{4, 6, -3, 9, 10}; std::cout << "\nstd::vector `v` backwards: "; std::copy (std::rbegin (v), std::rend(v), std::ostream_iterator <int>(std::cout, " ")); std::cout << '\n'; }
Output:
C-style array `a` backwards: 10 9 -3 6 4 std::initializer_list `il` backwards: 4 1 3 std::vector `v` backwards: 10 9 -3 6 4
