Remarks

  • To use any of std::map or std::multimap the header file <map> should be included.

  • std::map and std::multimap both keep their elements sorted according to the ascending order of keys. In case of std::multimap, no sorting occurs for the values of the same key.

  • The basic difference between std::map and std::multimap is that the std::map one does not allow duplicate values for the same key where std::multimap does.

  • Maps are implemented as binary search trees. So search(), insert(), erase() takes Θ(log n) time in average. For constant time operation use std::unordered_map.

  • size() and empty() functions have Θ(1) time complexity, number of nodes is cached to avoid walking through tree each time these functions are called.
