<A NAME="sec4"><H3>Description</H3></A>
<P>The <B><I>iterator</I></B> structure is a base class from which all other iterator types can be derived. This structure defines an interface that consists of five public types: <SAMP>value_type</SAMP>, <SAMP>difference_type</SAMP>, <SAMP>pointer</SAMP>, <SAMP>reference</SAMP>, and <SAMP>iterator_category</SAMP>. These types are used primarily by classes derived from <B><I>iterator</I></B> and by the <B><I><A HREF="iterator-traits.html">iterator_traits</A></I></B> class.</P>
<P>See the <A HREF="iterators.html">Iterators</A> section for a description of iterators and the capabilities associated with various types.</P>
