In the begin and end function templates that follow, *unspecified*1
is a type that meets the requirements of a mutable[*Cpp17RandomAccessIterator*](random.access.iterators#:Cpp17RandomAccessIterator "24.3.5.7 Random access iterators [random.access.iterators]") ([[random.access.iterators]](random.access.iterators "24.3.5.7 Random access iterators"))
and models [contiguous_iterator](iterator.concept.contiguous#concept:contiguous_iterator "24.3.4.14 Concept contiguous_­iterator [iterator.concept.contiguous]") ([[iterator.concept.contiguous]](iterator.concept.contiguous "24.3.4.14 Concept contiguous_­iterator")),
whose value_type is the template
parameter T and whose reference type is T&[.](#1.sentence-1)

*unspecified*2 is a
type that meets the requirements of a constant[*Cpp17RandomAccessIterator*](random.access.iterators#:Cpp17RandomAccessIterator "24.3.5.7 Random access iterators [random.access.iterators]") and models [contiguous_iterator](iterator.concept.contiguous#concept:contiguous_iterator "24.3.4.14 Concept contiguous_­iterator [iterator.concept.contiguous]"),
whose value_type is the template
parameter T and whose reference type is const T&[.](#1.sentence-2)

The iterators returned by begin and end for an array
are guaranteed to be valid until the member function[resize(size_t, T)](valarray.members#lib:valarray,resize "29.6.2.8 Member functions [valarray.members]") is called for that
array or until the lifetime of that array ends, whichever happens
first[.](#2.sentence-1)
