<p id="label-iterators">Iterators are generic means of addressing a particular element or a range
|
|
of sequential elements in a sequence. They are also a mechanism that makes
|
|
it possible to decouple <a class="reference internal" href="./algorithms.html">algorithms</a> from concrete compile-time <a class="reference internal" href="./classes.html#label-sequences-classes">sequence
|
|
implementations</a>. Under the hood, all MPL sequence algorithms are
|
|
implemented in terms of iterators. In particular, that means that they
|
|
will work on any custom compile-time sequence, given that the appropriate
|
|
iterator inteface is provided.</p>
