The only operation that is guaranteed to be supported is assigning a nonsingular iterator to a singular iterator.</p> <p>A Indexed Bidirectional Iterator may have a <i>dereferenceable</i> value, meaning that dereferencing it yields a well-defined value. Dereferenceable iterators are always nonsingular, but the converse is not true.</p> <p>An Indexed Bidirectional Iterator is <i>past-the-end</i> if it points beyond the last element of a container.
