std::move_backward in C++

Last Updated : 20 Jul, 2017
Moves the elements in the range [first,last] starting from the end into the range terminating at result. The function begins by moving *(last-1) into *(result-1), and then follows backward by the elements preceding these, until first is reached (and including it). Template :
BidirectionalIterator2 move_backward (BidirectionalIterator1 first,
 BidirectionalIterator1 last,
 BidirectionalIterator2 result);

result
Bidirectional iterator to the past-the-end position in the destination sequence.
This shall not point to any element in the range [first,last].

Return Type :
An iterator to the first element of the destination sequence where elements
have been moved.
Examples:
Input :
vec1 contains : 3 4 5 7 8
vec2 contains : 8 9 6 2 4 7
Output :
arr2 contains : 8 9 6 5 7 8
/*3 elements from 3rd position of vector vec1 moved to starting 4th position of vec2*/
Output:
Vector1 contains : 1 2 3 4 5
Vector2 contains : 7 7 7 7 7

Vector1 contains after std::move_backward function: 7 7 7 4 5
