std::flat_multimap<Key,T,Compare,KeyContainer,MappedContainer>::equal_range

From cppreference.com
 
 
 
 
std::pair<iterator, iterator> equal_range( const Key& key );
(1) (since C++23)
std::pair<const_iterator, const_iterator> equal_range( const Key& key ) const;
(2) (since C++23)
template< class K >
std::pair<iterator, iterator> equal_range( const K& x );
(3) (since C++23)
template< class K >
std::pair<const_iterator, const_iterator> equal_range( const K& x ) const;
(4) (since C++23)

Returns a range containing all elements with the given key in the container. The range is defined by two iterators, one pointing to the first element that is not less than key and another pointing to the first element greater than key. Alternatively, the first iterator may be obtained with lower_bound(), and the second with upper_bound().

1,2) Compares the keys to key.
3,4) Compares the keys to the value x. This overload participates in overload resolution only if the qualified-id Compare::is_transparent is valid and denotes a type. It allows calling this function without constructing an instance of Key.

Parameters

key - key value to compare the elements to
x - alternative value that can be compared to Key

Return value

std::pair containing a pair of iterators defining the wanted range: the first pointing to the first element that is not less than key and the second pointing to the first element greater than key.

If there are no elements not less than key, past-the-end (see end()) iterator is returned as the first element. Similarly if there are no elements greater than key, past-the-end iterator is returned as the second element.

Since emplace and unhinted insert always insert at the upper bound, the order of equivalent elements in the equal range is the order of insertion unless hinted insert or emplace_hint was used to insert an element at a different position.

Complexity

Logarithmic in the size of the container.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <flat_map>
 
template<typename I>
void print_equal_range(I first, I lb, I ub, I last)
{
    for (I i{first}; i != lb; ++i)
        std::cout << *i << ' ';
    std::cout << "[ ";
 
    for (I i{lb}; i != ub; ++i)
        std::cout << *i << ' ';
    std::cout << ") ";
 
    for (I i{ub}; i != last; ++i)
        std::cout << *i << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}
 
int main()
{
    std::flat_multimap<int> c{4, 3, 2, 1, 3, 3};
    std::cout << "c = ";
    print_equal_range(begin(c), begin(c), end(c), end(c));
    for (int key{}; key != 6; ++key)
    {
        std::cout << "key = " << key << "; equal range = ";
        const auto [lb, ub] = c.equal_range(key);
        print_equal_range(begin(c), lb, ub, end(c));
    }
}

Output:

c = [ 1 2 3 3 3 4 )
key = 0; equal range = [ ) 1 2 3 3 3 4
key = 1; equal range = [ 1 ) 2 3 3 3 4
key = 2; equal range = 1 [ 2 ) 3 3 3 4
key = 3; equal range = 1 2 [ 3 3 3 ) 4
key = 4; equal range = 1 2 3 3 3 [ 4 )
key = 5; equal range = 1 2 3 3 3 4 [ )
