string reverse iterator c++

To reverse a string using a reverse iterator in C++, you can follow these steps:

  1. First, include the necessary header file for working with strings in C++: cpp #include <string>

  2. Declare a string variable that you want to reverse: cpp std::string myString = "Hello World";

  3. Create a reverse iterator for the string: cpp std::string::reverse_iterator rit;

  4. Initialize the reverse iterator to point to the last character of the string: cpp rit = myString.rbegin();

  5. Use a loop to iterate through the string using the reverse iterator and append each character to a new string: cpp std::string reversedString; for (; rit != myString.rend(); ++rit) { reversedString += *rit; }

  6. Print the reversed string: cpp std::cout << "Reversed string: " << reversedString << std::endl;

Explanation for each step:

  1. Including the <string> header file allows you to use the string class in C++.

  2. Declaring a string variable myString initializes it with the value "Hello World". You can replace this with any string you want to reverse.

  3. Creating a reverse iterator rit specifically for the string myString.

  4. Initializing the reverse iterator rit to point to the last character of the string using the rbegin() function. This function returns an iterator pointing to the last character of the string.

  5. Using a loop, we iterate through the string using the reverse iterator rit and append each character to the reversedString variable. The rend() function returns an iterator pointing to the position before the first character of the string.

  6. Finally, we print the reversed string using the cout object and the << operator.
