Parameters

Parameter	Requirement	Description
`Sequence`	Bidirectional Sequence	A sequence to be examined.

Expression semantics

For any Bidirectional Sequence s:

typedef back<s>::type t;

Return type:

Return type:	A type.
Precondition:	`empty<s>::value == false`.
Semantics:	Equivalent to typedef deref< prior< end<s>::type >::type >::type t;

A type.

Precondition:

empty<s>::value == false.

Semantics:

Equivalent to

typedef deref< prior< end<s>::type >::type >::type t;

Complexity

Amortized constant time.

Example

typedef range_c<int,0,1> range1;
typedef range_c<int,0,10> range2;
typedef range_c<int,-10,0> range3;

BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( back<range1>::value, ==, 0 );
BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( back<range2>::value, ==, 9 );
BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( back<range3>::value, ==, -1 );
