Description

A map is a kind of 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 and of a reversible container and of an associative container. The value_type stored by this container is the value_type is std::pair<const Key, T>.

Template Parameters

  1. typename Key

    is the key_type of the map

  2. typename T

    is the mapped_type

  3. typename Compare = std::less<Key>

    is the ordering function for Keys (e.g. std::less<Key>).

  4. typename Allocator = new_allocator< std::pair< const Key, T> >

    is the allocator to allocate the value_types (e.g. allocator< std::pair<const Key, T> > ).

  5. typename MapOptions = tree_assoc_defaults

    is an packed option type generated using using boost::container::tree_assoc_options.

    Complexity: Linear to the number of elements in the container.

  5. friend bool operator<=(const map & x, const map & y);

    Effects: Returns true if x is equal or less than y

    Complexity: Linear to the number of elements in the container.

  6. friend bool operator>=(const map & x, const map & y);

    Effects: Returns true if x is equal or greater than y

    Complexity: Linear to the number of elements in the container.

  7. friend void swap(map & x, map & y);

    Effects: x.swap(y)

    Complexity: Constant.

  1. void swap(map &x) noexcept(allocator_traits_type key_compare key_comp;

    Effects: Swaps the contents of *this and x.

    Throws: Nothing.

    Complexity: Constant. Effects: erase(a.begin(),a.end()).

    Postcondition: size() == 0.

    Complexity: linear in size(). Effects: Returns the comparison object out of which a was constructed.

    Complexity: Constant.
