# operator+(std::reverse_iterator)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | iterator‎ | reverse iterator

Defined in header `<iterator>` |  |
template< class Iter > reverse_iterator<Iter> operator+( typename reverse_iterator<Iter>::difference_type n, const reverse_iterator<Iter>& it ); |  | (until C++17)
template< class Iter > constexpr reverse_iterator<Iter> operator+( typename reverse_iterator<Iter>::difference_type n, const reverse_iterator<Iter>& it ); |  | (since C++17)

Returns the iterator `it` incremented by `n`.

### Parameters

n | - | the number of positions to increment the iterator
it | - | the iterator adaptor to increment

### Return value

The incremented iterator, that is reverse_iterator<Iter>(it.base() - n)

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <iterator>
    #include <list>
    #include <vector>

    int main()
    {
        {
            std::vector v {0, 1, 2, 3};
            std::reverse_iterator<std::vector<int>::iterator>
                ri1 { std::reverse_iterator{ v.rbegin() } };
            std::cout << *ri1 << ' '; // 3
            std::reverse_iterator<std::vector<int>::iterator> ri2 { 2 + ri1 };
            std::cout << *ri2 << ' '; // 1
        }
        {
            std::list l {5, 6, 7, 8};
            std::reverse_iterator<std::list<int>::iterator>
                ri1{ std::reverse_iterator{ l.rbegin() } };
            std::cout << *ri1 << '\n'; // 8
        //  auto ri2 { 2 + ri1 }; // error: the underlying iterator does
                                  // not model the random access iterator
        }
    }

Output:

    3 1 8
