Hey there. Does arithmetic operations on iterators work in O(n) ? Example: std::vector<int>::iterator

it = v.begin();
it += 6;

Is "it += 6;" done in O(n) or constant time ?

i think its constant, just move address

So it's constant for std vector but for std list (that no random access is available) it'll be O(n) I think. Because the compiler says no operator '+=' is overloaded.

Would be interesting to know if they give you any guarantees on complexity, but likely they won't

You can see here that the operation on a random access I iterators is not O(1) while others iterators are O(n) https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/iterator/distance
