<p>If you wish to create a counting iterator that is a
Bidirectional Traversal Iterator, then pre-decrement is also required:</p>

<p>If you wish to create a counting iterator that is a Random Access
Traversal Iterator, then these additional expressions are also
required:</p>

n = i - j
i &lt; j

into the first array via indirection through the second array.</p>
