(since C++17) | |
Return the nth successor (or -nth predecessor if n is negative) of iterator it.
Contents |
[edit] Parameters
it | - | an iterator |
n | - | number of elements to advance |
Type requirements | ||
-InputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator.

[edit] Return value
An iterator of type InputIt
that holds the nth successor (or -nth predecessor if n is negative) of iterator it.
[edit] Complexity
Linear.
However, if InputIt
additionally meets the requirements of LegacyRandomAccessIterator, complexity is constant.
[edit] Possible implementation
template<class InputIt> constexpr // since C++17 InputIt next(InputIt it, typename std::iterator_traits<InputIt>::difference_type n = 1) { std::advance(it, n); return it; } |
[edit] Notes
Although the expression ++c.begin() often compiles, it is not guaranteed to do so: c.begin() is an rvalue expression, and there is no LegacyInputIterator requirement that specifies that increment of an rvalue is guaranteed to work. In particular, when iterators are implemented as pointers or its operator++
is lvalue-ref-qualified, ++c.begin() does not compile, while std::next(c.begin()) does.
[edit] Example
#include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <vector> int main() { std::vector<int> v{4, 5, 6}; auto it = v.begin(); auto nx = std::next(it, 2); std::cout << *it << ' ' << *nx << '\n'; it = v.end(); nx = std::next(it, -2); std::cout << ' ' << *nx << '\n'; }
Output:
4 6 5
