What is the purpose of the 'begin()' and 'end()' member functions in the container?

  1. To move through the entire sequence in a container

  2. To check if the container is empty

  3. To perform sorting operations on the container

  4. To insert and delete elements from the container

The correct answer is: To move through the entire sequence in a container

The 'begin()' and 'end()' member functions are used to iterate through all elements in the container, allowing for sequential access to each element. This is useful when performing operations on each element, such as printing or modifying their values. Option B is incorrect because there are other methods for checking if a container is empty, such as the 'empty()' member function. Option C is incorrect because the sorting operations are usually done using separate member functions such as 'sort()'. Option D is incorrect because insertion and deletion of elements are typically done with other member functions like 'insert()' and 'erase()'.
