# basic_json::rbegin

    reverse_iterator rbegin() noexcept;
    const_reverse_iterator rbegin() const noexcept;

Returns an iterator to the reverse-beginning; that is, the last element.

## Return value

reverse iterator to the first element

## Exception safety

No-throw guarantee: this member function never throws exceptions.

## Complexity

Constant.

## Example

Example

The following code shows an example for `rbegin()`.

    #include <iostream>
    #include <nlohmann/json.hpp>

    using json = nlohmann::json;

    int main()
    {
        // create an array value
        json array = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

        // get an iterator to the reverse-beginning
        json::reverse_iterator it = array.rbegin();

        // serialize the element that the iterator points to
        std::cout << *it << '\n';
    }

Output:

    5
