5Random Access Traversal Concept
6...............................
7
8A class or built-in type ``X`` models the *Random Access Traversal*
9concept if the following expressions are valid and respect the stated
10semantics.  In the table below, ``Distance`` is
11``iterator_traits<X>::difference_type`` and ``n`` represents a
12constant object of type ``Distance``.
