The greatest element of a set

[hackinghorn]

I want to write out the greatest element of a set. I used this

set<int> s;
//.. do sth to add elements

set<int>::iterator it=s.end();
if (s.empty()){
   //.. inform that s is empty
   }
else {
   it--;
   cout<<(*it);
   }

Is there any simpler way? Somehow making a new iterator makes it complex.

if( ! s.empty() ) cout << *(s.end()-1);

Or equivalently

... cout << *s.rbegin();
