object::operator[]

Access or insert the specified element.

Synopsis

value&
operator[](
    string_view key);

Description

Returns a reference to the value that is mapped to a key equivalent to key, performing an insertion of a null value if such key does not already exist.

If an insertion occurs and results in a rehashing of the container, all iterators including any past-the-end iterators, and all references to the elements are invalidated. Otherwise, no iterators or references are invalidated.

Complexity

Constant on average, worst case linear in size().

Exception Safety

Strong guarantee. Calls to memory_resource::allocate may throw.

Return Value

A reference to the mapped value.

Parameters

Name	Description
`key`	The key of the element to find.
