constexpr subrange prev( std::iter_difference_t<I> n = 1 ) const     requires std::bidirectional_iterator<I>;		(since C++20)

Returns a copy of *this whose begin_ is decremented (or incremented if n is negative). The actual decrement (or increment) operation is performed by advance(). Equivalent to:

auto tmp = *this;
tmp.advance(-n);
return tmp;.

Parameters

n

-

number of decrements of the iterator

Return value

As described above.

Notes

The difference between this function and advance() is that the latter performs the decrement (or increment) in place.

Example

Run this code

#include <iterator>
#include <list>
#include <print>
#include <ranges>
 
int main()
{
    std::list list{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    std::ranges::subrange sub{std::next(list.begin(), 2), std::prev(list.end(), 2)};
    std::println("{} {} {}", sub, sub.prev(), sub.prev(2));
}

Output:

[3] [2, 3] [1, 2, 3]
