std::unordered_multimap find() method

// (1) Non const version
iterator find( const Key& key );

// (2) Const version
const_iterator find( const Key& key ) const;

// (3) Non const version
template< class K > iterator find( const K& x );

// (4) Const version
template< class K > const_iterator find( const K& x ) const;
  • (1-2) Finds an element with key equivalent to key.
  • (3-4) Finds an element with key that compares equivalent to the value x. This overload participates in overload resolution only if Hash::is_transparent and KeyEqual::is_transparent are valid and each denotes a type. This assumes that such Hash is callable with both K and Key type, and that the KeyEqual is transparent, which, together, allows calling this function without constructing an instance of Key.

Parameters

  • key - key value of the elements to count
  • x - a value of any type that can be transparently compared with a key

Return value

Iterator to an element with key equivalent to key. If no such element is found, past-the-end (see end()) iterator is returned.

Complexity

Average case, constant - O(1).
Worst case, linear in size of the container - O(size()).

Exceptions

(none)

Notes

Feature testing macro: __cpp_lib_generic_unordered_lookup (for overload (3-4)).

Example

Main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <unordered_map>



int main()
{
// simple comparison demo
std::unordered_multimap<int,char> example = {{1,'a'},{2,'b'}};

auto search = example.find(2);
if (search != example.end()) {
std::cout << "Found " << search->first << " " << search->second << '\n';
} else {
std::cout << "Not found\n";
}
