26 Containers library [containers]

A map is an associative container that supports unique keys (contains at most one of each key value) and provides for fast retrieval of values of another type T based on the keys. The map class supports bidirectional iterators.

A map satisfies all of the requirements of a container, of a reversible container, of an associative container, and of an allocator-aware container. A map also provides most operations described in [associative.reqmts] for unique keys. This means that a map supports the a_­uniq operations in [associative.reqmts] but not the a_­eq operations. For a map<Key,T> the key_­type is Key and the value_­type is pair<const Key,T>. Descriptions are provided here only for operations on map that are not described in one of those tables or for operations where there is additional semantic information.

A multimap is an associative container that supports equivalent keys (possibly containing multiple copies of the same key value) and provides for fast retrieval of values of another type T based on the keys. The multimap class supports bidirectional iterators.

A multimap satisfies all of the requirements of a container and of a reversible container, of an associative container, and of an allocator-aware container. A multimap also provides most operations described in [associative.reqmts] for equal keys. This means that a multimap supports the a_­eq operations in [associative.reqmts] but not the a_­uniq operations. For a multimap<Key,T> the key_­type is Key and the value_­type is pair<const Key,T>. Descriptions are provided here only for operations on multimap that are not described in one of those tables or for operations where there is additional semantic information.

A set is an associative container that supports unique keys (contains at most one of each key value) and provides for fast retrieval of the keys themselves. The set class supports bidirectional iterators.

A set satisfies all of the requirements of a container, of a reversible container, of an associative container, and of an allocator-aware container. A set also provides most operations described in [associative.reqmts] for unique keys. This means that a set supports the a_­uniq operations in [associative.reqmts] but not the a_­eq operations. For a set<Key> both the key_­type and value_­type are Key. Descriptions are provided here only for operations on set that are not described in one of these tables and for operations where there is additional semantic information.

A multiset is an associative container that supports equivalent keys (possibly contains multiple copies of the same key value) and provides for fast retrieval of the keys themselves. The multiset class supports bidirectional iterators.

A multiset satisfies all of the requirements of a container, of a reversible container, of an associative container, and of an allocator-aware container. multiset also provides most operations described in [associative.reqmts] for duplicate keys. This means that a multiset supports the a_­eq operations in [associative.reqmts] but not the a_­uniq operations. For a multiset<Key> both the key_­type and value_­type are Key. Descriptions are provided here only for operations on multiset that are not described in one of these tables and for operations where there is additional semantic information.
