std::span<T,Extent>::end, std::span<T,Extent>::cend
|  | (1) | (since C++20) | 
|  | (2) | (since C++23) | 
Returns an iterator to the element following the last element of the span.
This element acts as a placeholder; attempting to access it results in undefined behavior.
Parameters
(none)
Return value
Iterator to the element following the last element.
Complexity
Constant.
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <span>
 
void print(std::span<const int> array)
{
    std::cout << "array = ";
    for (auto it = array.begin(); it != array.end(); ++it)
        std::cout << *it << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}
 
void set_first_element(std::span<int> sp, int new_value)
{
    if (!sp.empty())
    {
        std::cout << "old *begin = " << *sp.begin() << '\n';
        *sp.begin() = new_value;
        std::cout << "new *begin = " << *sp.begin() << '\n';
    }
}
 
int main()
{
    int array[]{1, 3, 4, 5};
    print(array);
    set_first_element(array, 2);
    print(array);
}Output:
array = 1 3 4 5
old *begin = 1
new *begin = 2
array = 2 3 4 5See also
