#
The
input_
or_
output_
iterator
concept forms the basis of the iterator concept taxonomy; every iterator models
input_
or_
output_
iterator
.
This concept specifies operations for dereferencing and incrementing an iterator
.
Most algorithms will require additional operations to compare iterators with sentinels (
[iterator.
concept.
sentinel]
), to read (
[iterator.
concept.
input]
) or write (
[iterator.
concept.
output]
) values, or to provide a richer set of iterator movements (
[iterator.
concept.
forward]
,
[iterator.

,
[iterator.
concept.
random.
access]
)
.

Unlike the
