std::ranges::take_view<V>::begin - cppreference.com

From cppreference.com

constexpr auto begin() requires (!/*simple-view*/<V>);
(1) (since C++20) 
constexpr auto begin() const requires ranges::range<const V>;
(2) (since C++20)

Returns an iterator to the first element of the take_view.

1) Returns a std::counted_iterator or a ranges::iterator_t<V>.

2) Returns a std::counted_iterator or a ranges::iterator_t<const V>.

Overload (1) does not participate in overload resolution if V is a simple view (that is, if V and const V are views with the same iterator and sentinel types).

Parameters

(none)

Return value

The result depends on the concepts satisfied by possibly const-qualified underlying view type Base, which is V for (1) or const V for (2).

Let base_ be the underlying view, count_ be the underlying counter (equals to 0 if take_view was default initialized).

The underlying view type
satisfies ... 		random_access_range
yes no
sized_range yes ranges::begin(base_) std::counted_iterator(ranges::begin(base_),
ranges::range_difference_t<Base_>(this->size()))
no std::counted_iterator(ranges::begin(base_), count_)
