.begin() and .end() return *iterators*.
.back() and .front() return references to *elements*

iterator firstIt = container.begin();
element firstEl = container.front();
assert(*firstIt == firstEl);

iterator lastIt = container.rbegin(); // reverse begin
element lastEl = container.back();
assert(*lastIt == lastEl);

iterator onePastLast = container.end(); 
// dont dereference *onePastLast !!
