std::set::cbegin

const_iterator cbegin() const noexcept;
Return const_iterator to beginning
Returns a const_iterator pointing to the first element in the container.

All iterators in set containers are constant iterators (including both const_iterator and iterator member types). These cannot be used to modify the contents they point to, but can be increased and decreased normally (unless they are themselves also const).

If the container is empty, the returned iterator value shall not be dereferenced.

Parameters

none

Return Value

A const_iterator to the beginning of the sequence.

Member type const_iterator is a bidirectional iterator type that points to const elements.

// set::cbegin/cend
#include <iostream>
#include <set>

int main ()
{
  std::set<int> myset = {50,20,60,10,25};

  std::cout << "myset contains:";
  for (auto it=myset.cbegin(); it != myset.cend(); ++it)
    std::cout << ' ' << *it;

  std::cout << '\n';

  return 0;
}


Output:
myset contains: 10 20 25 50 60

Complexity

Constant.

Iterator validity

No changes.

Data races

The container is accessed.
Concurrently accessing the elements of a set 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.
