An InputIterator is an Iterator that can read from the pointed-to element.

Requirements

• Iterator
• EqualityComparable

In addition to the above requirements, for a type It to be an InputIterator, instances a and b of It must:

Expression	Return	Equivalent expression	Notes
a != b	bool	!(a == b)
*a	value_type	If a == b equivalent to *b
a->m		(*a).m
++a	It&		After this, copies of a may be invalidated
a++		++a
*a++	value_type	value_type t = *a; ++a; return t;
