Returns a reference to the element at specified relative location.

Parameters

n

-

position relative to current location

Return value

std::move(current [n])(until C++20)ranges::iter_move(current + n)(since C++20)

Notes

The return type is unspecified because the return type of the underlying iterator's operator[] is also unspecified (see LegacyRandomAccessIterator).

(until C++20)

Example

Run this code

#include <cstddef>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <list>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

void print(auto rem, const auto& v)
{
    for (std::cout << rem; const auto& e : v)
        std::cout << std::quoted(e) << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

int main()
{
    std::vector<std::string> p{"alpha", "beta", "gamma", "delta"}, q;
    print("1) p: ", p);
    
    std::move_iterator it{p.begin()};
    
    for (std::size_t t{}; t != p.size(); ++t)
        q.emplace_back(it[t]); 
    
    print("2) p: ", p);
    print("3) q: ", q);
    
    std::list l{1, 2, 3};
    std::move_iterator it2{l.begin()};
//  it2[1] = 13; // Compilation error: the underlying iterator
                 // does not model the random access iterator
//  *it2 = 999;  // Compilation error: using rvalue as lvalue
}

Possible output:

1) p: "alpha" "beta" "gamma" "delta"
2) p: "" "" "" ""
3) q: "alpha" "beta" "gamma" "delta"
