  1. set::rbegin() is a built-in function in C++ STL which returns a reverse iterator pointing to the last element in the container. Syntax:
    reverse_iterator set_name.rbegin()
    
    Parameters: The function does not take any parameter. Return value: The function returns a reverse iterator pointing to the last element in the container. Program to demonstrate the set::rbegin() method: Program 1: CPP
    // CPP program to demonstrate the
    // set::rbegin() function
    #include <bits/stdc++.h>
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    {
    
        int arr[] = { 14, 12, 15, 11, 10 };
    
        // initializes the set from an array
        set<int> s(arr, arr + 5);
    
        set<int>::reverse_iterator rit;
    
        // prints all elements in reverse order
        for (rit = s.rbegin(); rit != s.rend(); rit++)
            cout << *rit << " ";
    
        cout << "\nThe last element in set is " << *(s.rbegin());
    
        return 0;
    }
    
    Output:
    15 14 12 11 10 
    The last element in set is 15
    

  2. set::rend() in an inbuilt function in C++ STL which returns a reverse iterator pointing to the theoretical element right before the first element in the set container. Syntax:
    reverse_iterator set_name.rend()
    
    Parameter: The function does not accepts any parameter. Return value: The function returns a reverse iterator pointing to the theoretical element right before the first element in the set container. Below programs illustrate the function: Program 1: CPP
    // CPP program to demonstrate the
    // set::rend() function
    #include <bits/stdc++.h>
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    {
    
        int arr[] = { 4, 3, 5, 1, 2 };
    
        // initializes the set from an array
        set<int> s(arr, arr + 5);
    
        set<int>::reverse_iterator rit;
    
        // prints all elements in reverse order
        for (rit = s.rbegin(); rit != s.rend(); rit++)
            cout << *rit << " ";
    
        return 0;
    }
    
    Output:
    5 4 3 2 1
