array::begin() and array::end() in C++ STL

Array classes are generally more efficient, light-weight and reliable than C-style arrays. The introduction of array class from C++11 has offered a better alternative for C-style arrays.

begin() function is used to return an iterator pointing to the first element of the array container. begin() function returns a bidirectional iterator to the first element of the container.
Syntax : 

arrayname.begin()
Parameters :
No parameters are passed.

Returns :
This function returns a bidirectional
iterator pointing to the first element.

Examples:  

Input  : myarray{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
Output : returns an iterator to the element 1

Input  : myarray{8, 7};         
Output : returns an iterator to the element 8

Errors and Exceptions
1. It has a no exception throw guarantee. 
2. Shows error when a parameter is passed. 

// CPP program to illustrate
// Implementation of begin() function
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    // declaration of array container
    array<int, 5> myarray{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };

    // using begin() to print array
    for (auto it = myarray.begin();
         it != myarray.end(); ++it)
        cout << ' ' << *it;

    return 0;
}

Output: 

1 2 3 4 5

end() returns an iterator pointing to the past-the-end element in the array container. 
Syntax :  

arrayname.end()
Parameters :
No parameters are passed.

Returns :
This function returns a bidirectional
iterator pointing to the past-the-end element.

Examples:  

Input  : myarray{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
Output : returns an iterator to the element next to 5 i.e,. some garbage value

Input  : myarray{8, 7};
Output : returns an iterator to the element next to 7 i.e,. some garbage value

Errors and Exceptions
1. It has a no exception throw guarantee. 
2. Shows error when a parameter is passed. 

// CPP program to illustrate
// Implementation of end() function
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    // declaration of array container
    array<int, 5> myarray{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };

    // using end() to print array
    for (auto it = myarray.begin();
         it != myarray.end(); ++it)
        cout << ' ' << *it;
      
      auto it = myarray.end();
      cout << "\n myarray.end(): " << *it << " [some garbage value]";
    return 0;
}

Output: 

1 2 3 4 5
myarray.end(): 0 [some garbage value]
