SUMMARY
The sample code below illustrates how to use the reverse STL function in Visual C++.
MORE INFORMATION
Required Header
<algorithm>
Prototype
template<class BidirectionalIterator> inline
void reverse(BidirectionalIterator first,
BidirectionalIterator last)
NOTE: The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.
Description
The reverse algorithm reverses the order of the elements in the range [first, last).
Sample Code
NOTE: In the first line of the sample code section, /GX is equivalent to /EHsc in VC++ .NET and is set by default.

// reverse the items in the vector Tongue_Twister

// print content of Tongue_Twister
cout << "Now try the reversed Tongue Twister: " ;
for(it = start; it != end; it++)
cout << *it << " " ;
cout << "\n\n" ;
}
Program Output is:
Before calling reverse
Try this Tongue Twister: she sells sea shells by the sea shore
After calling reverse
Now try the reversed Tongue Twister: shore sea the by shells sea sells she
