<p>Furthermore, if you wish to create a counting iterator that is a Forward
Traversal Iterator, then the following expressions must be valid:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
Incrementable i, j;

i == j // operator equal
</pre>
<p>If you wish to create a counting iterator that is a
Bidirectional Traversal Iterator, then pre-decrement is also required:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
--i
</pre>
<p>If you wish to create a counting iterator that is a Random Access
Traversal Iterator, then these additional expressions are also
required:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">

i += n
n = i - j
i &lt; j

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