Access

To access the elements of a container, you can use an iterator. If you use a begin and end iterator, you have a range, which you can further process. For a container cont, you get with cont.begin() the begin iterator and with cont.end() the end iterator, which defines a half-open range. It is half-open because the begin iterator belongs to the range, the end iterator refers to a position past the range. With the iterator pair cont.begin() and cont.end() you can modify the elements.
