What arguments does the 'iterator' constructor take to create the end sentinel iterator?

  1. A pointer to the container

  2. A reference to the container and a boolean

  3. An integer representing the size of the container

  4. No arguments are needed

The correct answer is: A reference to the container and a boolean

The 'iterator' constructor takes a reference to the container and a boolean argument. The container is needed to access the end of the container, while the boolean argument is used to indicate whether the iterator is at the beginning or end of the container. Option A is incorrect because only a pointer is not enough to create the end sentinel iterator, the reference is also needed. Option C is incorrect because the size of the container does not determine the location of the end iterator. Option D is incorrect because arguments are needed to create the end sentinel iterator.
