std::erase_if (std::map)

Defined in header <map>
template< class Key, class T, class Compare, class Alloc, class Pred >
typename std::map<Key, T, Compare, Alloc>::size_type
    erase_if( std::map<Key, T, Compare, Alloc>& c, Pred pred );
(since C++20)

Erases all elements that satisfy the predicate pred from the container. Equivalent to.

auto old_size = c.size();
for (auto i = c.begin(), last = c.end(); i != last; ) {
  if (pred(*i)) {
    i = c.erase(i);
  } else {
    ++i;
  }
}
return old_size - c.size();

Parameters

c - container from which to erase
pred - predicate that returns true if the element should be erased

Return value

The number of erased elements.

Complexity

Linear.

Example

#include <map>
#include <iostream>
 
template<typename Os, typename Container>
inline Os& operator<<(Os& os, Container const& cont)
{
    os << "{";
    for (const auto& item : cont) {
        os << "{" << item.first << ", " << item.second << "}";
    }
    return os << "}";
}
 
int main()
{
    std::map<int, char> data {{1, 'a'},{2, 'b'},{3, 'c'},{4, 'd'},
                              {5, 'e'},{4, 'f'},{5, 'g'},{5, 'g'}};
    std::cout << "Original:\n" << data << '\n';
 
    const auto count = std::erase_if(data, [](const auto& item) {
        auto const& [key, value] = item;
        return (key & 1) == 1;
    });
 
    std::cout << "Erase items with odd keys:\n" << data << '\n'
              << count << " items removed.\n";
}

Output:

Original:
{{1, a}{2, b}{3, c}{4, d}{5, e}}
Erase items with odd keys:
{{2, b}{4, d}}
3 items removed.
