template< class E >
const E* begin( initializer_list<E> il ) noexcept;
(since C++11)
(until C++14)
template< class E >
constexpr const E* begin( initializer_list<E> il ) noexcept;
(since C++14)

The overload of std::begin for initializer_list returns a pointer to the first element of il.

Parameters

il - an initializer_list

Return value

il.begin()

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <initializer_list>
 
int main() 
{
    std::initializer_list<int> il = {3, 1, 4, 1};
    for(auto it = std::begin(il); it != std::end(il); ++it) {
        std::cout << *it << '\n';
    }
}
