Defined in header <iterator>
template< class Iter >

reverse_iterator<Iter>
    operator+( typename reverse_iterator<Iter>::difference_type n,

               const reverse_iterator<Iter>& it );
(until C++17)
template< class Iter >

constexpr reverse_iterator<Iter>
    operator+( typename reverse_iterator<Iter>::difference_type n,

               const reverse_iterator<Iter>& it );
(since C++17)

Returns the iterator it incremented by n.

Parameters

n - the number of positions to increment the iterator
it - the iterator adaptor to increment

Return value

The incremented iterator, that is reverse_iterator<Iter>(it.base() - n)

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <list>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    {
        std::vector v {0, 1, 2, 3};
        std::reverse_iterator<std::vector<int>::iterator>
            ri1 { std::reverse_iterator{ v.rbegin() } };
        std::cout << *ri1 << ' '; // 3
        std::reverse_iterator<std::vector<int>::iterator> ri2 { 2 + ri1 };
        std::cout << *ri2 << ' '; // 1
    }
    {
        std::list l {5, 6, 7, 8};
        std::reverse_iterator<std::list<int>::iterator>
            ri1{ std::reverse_iterator{ l.rbegin() } };
        std::cout << *ri1 << '\n'; // 8
    //  auto ri2 { 2 + ri1 }; // error: the underlying iterator does
                              // not model the random access iterator
    }
}

Output:

3 1 8
