# Bidirectional Sequence

### Description

A Bidirectional Sequence is a Forward Sequence whose iterators model Bidirectional Iterator.

### Refinement of

Forward Sequence

### Expression requirements

In addition to the requirements defined in Forward Sequence, for any Bidirectional Sequence `s` the following must be met:

Expression | Type | Complexity
--- | --- | ---
`begin<s>::type` | Bidirectional Iterator | Amortized constant time
`end<s>::type` | Bidirectional Iterator | Amortized constant time
`back<s>::type` | Any type | Amortized constant time

### Expression semantics

The semantics of an expression are defined only where they differ from, or are not defined in Forward Sequence.

Expression | Semantics
--- | ---
`back<s>::type` | The last element in the sequence; see back.

### Models

- vector
- range_c
