std::map
is a sorted associative container that contains key-value pairs with unique keys. Keys are sorted by using the comparison function Compare
. Search, removal, and insertion operations have logarithmic complexity. Maps are usually implemented as Red–black trees.
Everywhere the standard library uses the Compare requirements, uniqueness is determined by using the equivalence relation. In imprecise terms, two objects a
and b
are considered equivalent (not unique) if neither compares less than the other: !comp(a, b) && !comp(b, a)
.
std::map
meets the requirements of Container, AllocatorAwareContainer, AssociativeContainer and ReversibleContainer.
