hash_multiset::end

Returns an iterator that addresses the location succeeding the last element in a hash_multiset.

const_iterator end( ) const; 
iterator end( );

Return Value

A bidirectional iterator that addresses the location succeeding the last element in a hash_multiset. If the hash_multiset is empty, then hash_multiset::end == hash_multiset::begin.

Remarks

end is used to test whether an iterator has reached the end of its hash_multiset. The value returned by end should not be dereferenced.

In Visual C++ .NET 2003, members of the <hash_map> and <hash_set> header files are no longer in the std namespace, but rather have been moved into the stdext namespace. See The stdext Namespace for more information.

Example

// hash_multiset_end.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#define _DEFINE_DEPRECATED_HASH_CLASSES 0
#include <hash_set>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   using namespace stdext;
   hash_multiset <int> hms1;
   hash_multiset <int> :: iterator hms1_Iter;
   hash_multiset <int> :: const_iterator hms1_cIter;
   
   hms1.insert( 1 );
   hms1.insert( 2 );
   hms1.insert( 3 );

   hms1_Iter = hms1.end( );
   hms1_Iter--;
   cout << "The last element of hms1 is " << *hms1_Iter << endl;

   hms1.erase( hms1_Iter );

   // The following 3 lines would err because the iterator is const
   // hms1_cIter = hms1.end( );
   // hms1_cIter--;
   // hms1.erase( hms1_cIter );

   hms1_cIter = hms1.end( );
   hms1_cIter--;
   cout << "The last element of hms1 is now " << *hms1_cIter << endl;
}

The last element of hms1 is 3 The last element of hms1 is now 2
