QMultiMap<Key, T> is one of Qt's generic container classes. It stores (key, value) pairs and provides fast lookup by key.
QMultiMap and QMultiHash provide very similar functionality. The differences are:
Here's an example QMultiMap with QString keys and int values:
QMultiMap<QString, int> multimap;
To insert a (key, value) pair into the multi map, you can use insert():
multimap.insert("a", 1);
multimap.insert("b", 3);
multimap.insert("c", 7);
multimap.insert("c", -5); This inserts the following three (key, value) pairs into the QMultiMap: ("a", 1), ("b", 3), ("c", 7), and ("c", -5); note that duplicate keys are allowed.
To look up a value, use find() or value():
int num2 = multimap.value("a"); // 1
int num3 = multimap.value("thirteen"); // not found; 0
int num3 = 0;
auto it = multimap.value("b");
if (it != multimap.end()) {
num3 = it.value();
} If there is no item with the specified key in the map, these functions return a default-constructed value.
If you want to check whether the map contains a certain key, use contains():
int timeout = 30;
if (multimap.contains("TIMEOUT"))
timeout = multimap.value("TIMEOUT");
// better:
auto it = multimap.find("TIMEOUT");
if (it != multimap.end())
timeout = it.value(); There is also a value() overload that uses its second argument as a default value if there is no item with the specified key:
int timeout = multimap.value("TIMEOUT", 30); If you want to navigate through all the (key, value) pairs stored in a QMultiMap, you can use an iterator. QMultiMap provides both Java-style iterators (QMultiMapIterator and QMutableMultiMapIterator) and STL-style iterators (QMultiMap::const_iterator and QMultiMap::iterator). Here's how to iterate over a QMultiMap<QString, int> using a Java-style iterator:
QMultiMapIterator<QString, int> i(multimap);
while (i.hasNext()) {
i.next();
cout << i.key() << ": " << i.value() << Qt::endl;
} Here's the same code, but using an STL-style iterator this time:
auto i = multimap.constBegin();
while (i != multimap.constEnd()) {
cout << i.key() << ": " << i.value() << Qt::endl;
++i;
} The items are traversed in ascending key order.
A QMultiMap allows multiple values per key. If you call insert() with a key that already exists in the map, a new (key, value) pair will be inserted. For example:
multimap.insert("plenty", 100);
multimap.insert("plenty", 2000);
// multimap.size() == 2 If you want to retrieve all the values for a single key, you can use values(const Key &key), which returns a QList<T>:
QList<int> values = multimap.values("plenty");
for (int i = 0; i < values.size(); ++i)
cout << values.at(i) << Qt::endl; The items that share the same key are available from most recently to least recently inserted. Another approach is to call find() to get the STL-style iterator for the first item with a key and iterate from there:
QMultiMap<QString, int>::iterator i = multimap.find("plenty");
while (i != map.end() && i.key() == "plenty") {
cout << i.value() << Qt::endl;
++i;
}
// better:
auto [i, end] = multimap.equal_range("plenty");
while (i != end) {
cout << i.value() << Qt::endl;
++i;
} If you only need to extract the values from a map (not the keys), you can also use foreach:
QMap<QString, int> multimap;
...
foreach (int value, multimap)
cout << value << Qt::endl; Items can be removed from the multi map in several ways. One way is to call remove(); this will remove any item with the given key. Another way is to use QMutableMultiMapIterator::remove(). In addition, you can clear the entire map using clear().
It is possible to merge two multi maps by calling unite(), by using operator+(), and by using operator+=(). Example:
QMultiMap<QString, int> map1, map2, map3;
map1.insert("plenty", 100);
map1.insert("plenty", 2000);
// map1.size() == 2
map2.insert("plenty", 5000);
// map2.size() == 1
map3 = map1 + map2;
// map3.size() == 3 QMultiMap's key and value data types must be assignable data types. This covers most data types you are likely to encounter, but the compiler won't let you, for example, store a QWidget as a value; instead, store a QWidget *. In addition, QMultiMap's key type must provide operator<(). QMap uses it to keep its items sorted, and assumes that two keys x and y are equal if neither x < y nor y < x is true.
Example:
#ifndef EMPLOYEE_H
#define EMPLOYEE_H
class Employee
{
public:
Employee() {}
Employee(const QString &name, QDate dateOfBirth);
...
private:
QString myName;
QDate myDateOfBirth;
};
inline bool operator<(const Employee &e1, const Employee &e2)
{
if (e1.name() != e2.name())
return e1.name() < e2.name();
return e1.dateOfBirth() < e2.dateOfBirth();
}
#endif // EMPLOYEE_H In the example, we start by comparing the employees' names. If they're equal, we compare their dates of birth to break the tie.

The QMultiMap::const_key_value_iterator typedef provides an STL-style iterator for QMultiMap.
QMultiMap::const_key_value_iterator is essentially the same as QMultiMap::const_iterator with the difference that operator*() returns a key/value pair instead of a value.
This typedef was introduced in Qt 5.10.
See also QKeyValueIterator.

The QMultiMap::key_value_iterator typedef provides an STL-style iterator for QMultiMap.
QMultiMap::key_value_iterator is essentially the same as QMultiMap::iterator with the difference that operator*() returns a key/value pair instead of a value.

[default] QMultiMap::QMultiMap(const QMultiMap<Key, T> &other)
Constructs a copy of other.
This operation occurs in constant time, because QMultiMap is implicitly shared. This makes returning a QMultiMap from a function very fast. If a shared instance is modified, it will be copied (copy-on-write), and this takes linear time.
See also operator=().
[default, since 5.2] QMultiMap::QMultiMap(QMultiMap<Key, T> &&other)
Move-constructs a QMultiMap instance, making it point at the same object that other was pointing to.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

See also toStdMultiMap().
Constructs a copy of other.
See also toStdMultiMap().
[since 6.0] QMultiMap::QMultiMap(QMap<Key, T> &&other)
If other is shared, constructs a multi map as a copy of other. Otherwise, constructs a multi map by moving the elements from other.
This function was introduced in Qt 6.0.

Assigns other to this multi map and returns a reference to this multi map.
[default] QMultiMap::~QMultiMap()
Destroys the multi map. References to the values in the multi map, and all iterators over this multi map, become invalid.
Returns an STL-style iterator pointing to the first item in the multi map.
See also constBegin() and end().
This is an overloaded function.
[since 5.0] QMultiMap::const_iterator QMultiMap::cbegin() const

This is an overloaded function.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.
Removes the (key, value) pair pointed to by the iterator pos from the multi map, and returns an iterator to the next item in the map.
Note: The iterator pos must be valid and dereferenceable.
See also remove().
[since 6.0] QMultiMap::iterator QMultiMap::erase(QMultiMap::const_iterator first, QMultiMap::const_iterator last)
Removes the (key, value) pairs pointed to by the iterator range [first, last) from the multi map. Returns an iterator to the item in the multi map following the last removed element.
Note: The range [first, last) must be a valid range in *this.
This function was introduced in Qt 6.0.
See also remove().
Returns an iterator pointing to the item with key key in the multi map.
If the multi map contains no item with key key, the function returns end().
If the map contains multiple items with key key, this function returns an iterator that points to the most recently inserted value. The other values are accessible by incrementing the iterator. For example, here's some code that iterates over all the items with the same key:
QMultiMap<QString, int>::iterator i = multimap.find("plenty");
while (i != map.end() && i.key() == "plenty") {
cout << i.value() << Qt::endl;
++i;
}
// better:
auto [i, end] = multimap.equal_range("plenty");
while (i != end) {
cout << i.value() << Qt::endl;
++i;
} See also constFind(), value(), values(), lowerBound(), and upperBound().
This is an overloaded function.
This is an overloaded function.
Returns a const iterator pointing to the item with the given key and value in the map.
If the map contains no such item, the function returns end().
If the map contains multiple items with the specified key, this function returns a const iterator that points to the most recently inserted value.
[since 5.2] T &QMultiMap::first()
Returns a reference to the first value in the multi map, that is the value mapped to the smallest key. This function assumes that the multi map is not empty.
When unshared (or const version is called), this executes in constant time.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.
See also last(), firstKey(), and isEmpty().
[since 5.2] const T &QMultiMap::first() const
This is an overloaded function.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.
[since 5.2] const Key &QMultiMap::firstKey() const
Returns a reference to the smallest key in the multi map. This function assumes that the multi map is not empty.
This executes in constant time.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.
See also lastKey(), first(), keyBegin(), and isEmpty().
Inserts a new item with the key key and a value of value.
If there is already an item with the same key in the map, this function will simply create a new one. (This behavior is different from replace(), which overwrites the value of an existing item.)
See also replace().
[since 5.1] QMultiMap::iterator QMultiMap::insert(QMultiMap::const_iterator pos, const Key &key, const T &value)
This is an overloaded function.
Inserts a new item with the key key and value value and with hint pos suggesting where to do the insert.
If constBegin() is used as hint it indicates that the key is less than any key in the multi map while constEnd() suggests that the key is (strictly) larger than any key in the multi map. Otherwise the hint should meet the condition (pos - 1).key() < key <= pos.key(). If the hint pos is wrong it is ignored and a regular insert is done.
If the hint is correct and the multi map is unshared, the insert executes in amortized constant time.
If there is already an item with the same key in the map, this function will simply create a new one.
When creating a multi map from sorted data inserting the largest key first with constBegin() is faster than inserting in sorted order with constEnd(), since constEnd() - 1 (which is needed to check if the hint is valid) needs logarithmic time.
Note: Be careful with the hint. Providing an iterator from an older shared instance might crash but there is also a risk that it will silently corrupt both the multi map and the pos multi map.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.1.
Returns true if the multi map contains no items; otherwise returns false.
See also size().
This is an overloaded function.
Returns the first key with value value, or defaultKey if the multi map contains no item with value value. If no defaultKey is provided the function returns a default-constructed key.
This function can be slow (linear time), because QMultiMap's internal data structure is optimized for fast lookup by key, not by value.
[since 5.6] QMultiMap::key_iterator QMultiMap::keyBegin() const
Returns a const STL-style iterator pointing to the first key in the multi map.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.
See also keyEnd() and firstKey().
[since 5.6] QMultiMap::key_iterator QMultiMap::keyEnd() const
Returns a const STL-style iterator pointing to the imaginary item after the last key in the multi map.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.
See also keyBegin() and lastKey().
[since 5.10] QMultiMap::key_value_iterator QMultiMap::keyValueBegin()
Returns an STL-style iterator pointing to the first entry in the multi map.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.10.
See also keyValueEnd().
[since 5.10] QMultiMap::const_key_value_iterator QMultiMap::keyValueBegin() const
Returns a const STL-style iterator pointing to the first entry in the multi map.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.10.
See also keyValueEnd().
[since 5.10] QMultiMap::key_value_iterator QMultiMap::keyValueEnd()
Returns an STL-style iterator pointing to the imaginary entry after the last entry in the multi map.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.10.
See also keyValueBegin().
[since 5.10] QMultiMap::const_key_value_iterator QMultiMap::keyValueEnd() const
Returns a const STL-style iterator pointing to the imaginary entry after the last entry in the multi map.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.10.
See also keyValueBegin().
Returns a list containing all the keys in the multi map in ascending order. Keys that occur multiple times in the multi map also occur multiple times in the list.
The order is guaranteed to be the same as that used by values().
This function creates a new list, in linear time. The time and memory use that entails can be avoided by iterating from keyBegin() to keyEnd().
This is an overloaded function.
Returns a list containing all the keys associated with value value in ascending order.
This function can be slow (linear time), because QMultiMap's internal data structure is optimized for fast lookup by key, not by value.
[since 5.2] T &QMultiMap::last()
Returns a reference to the last value in the multi map, that is the value mapped to the largest key. This function assumes that the map is not empty.
When unshared (or const version is called), this executes in logarithmic time.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.
See also first(), lastKey(), and isEmpty().
[since 5.2] const T &QMultiMap::last() const
This is an overloaded function.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.
[since 5.2] const Key &QMultiMap::lastKey() const
Returns a reference to the largest key in the multi map. This function assumes that the multi map is not empty.
This executes in logarithmic time.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.
See also firstKey(), last(), keyEnd(), and isEmpty().
Returns an iterator pointing to the first item with key key in the map. If the map contains no item with key key, the function returns an iterator to the nearest item with a greater key.
Example:
QMultiMap<int, QString> multimap; multimap.insert(1, "one"); multimap.insert(5, "five"); multimap.insert(5, "five (2)"); multimap.insert(10, "ten"); multimap.lowerBound(0); // returns iterator to (1, "one") multimap.lowerBound(1); // returns iterator to (1, "one") multimap.lowerBound(2); // returns iterator to (5, "five") multimap.lowerBound(5); // returns iterator to (5, "five") multimap.lowerBound(6); // returns iterator to (10, "ten") multimap.lowerBound(10); // returns iterator to (10, "ten") multimap.lowerBound(999); // returns end()
If the map contains multiple items with key key, this function returns an iterator that points to the most recently inserted value. The other values are accessible by incrementing the iterator. For example, here's some code that iterates over all the items with the same key:
QMap<QString, int> multimap;
...
QMap<QString, int>::const_iterator i = multimap.lowerBound("HDR");
QMap<QString, int>::const_iterator upperBound = multimap.upperBound("HDR");
while (i != upperBound) {
cout << i.value() << Qt::endl;
++i;
} See also upperBound() and find().
This is an overloaded function.
Removes all the items that have the key key from the multi map. Returns the number of items removed.
Removes all the items that have the key key and value value from the multi map. Returns the number of items removed.
[since 6.1] template <typename Predicate> QMultiMap::size_type QMultiMap::removeIf(Predicate pred)
Removes all elements for which the predicate pred returns true from the multi map.
The function supports predicates which take either an argument of type QMultiMap<Key, T>::iterator, or an argument of type std::pair<const Key &, T &>.
Returns the number of elements removed, if any.
This function was introduced in Qt 6.1.
Inserts a new item with the key key and a value of value.
If there is already an item with the key key, that item's value is replaced with value.
If there are multiple items with the key key, the most recently inserted item's value is replaced with value.
See also insert().
Returns the number of (key, value) pairs in the multi map.
See also isEmpty() and count().
Swaps multi map other with this multi map. This operation is very fast and never fails.
Removes the item with the key key from the multi map and returns the value associated with it.
If the item does not exist in the multi map, the function simply returns a default-constructed value. If there are multiple items for key in the map, only the most recently inserted one is removed and returned.
If you don't use the return value, remove() is more efficient.
See also remove().
Returns an STL multi map equivalent to this QMultiMap.
Returns a list containing all the keys in the map in ascending order. Keys that occur multiple times in the map occur only once in the returned list.
Inserts all the items in the other map into this map. If a key is common to both maps, the resulting map will contain the key multiple times.
Moves all the items from the other map into this map. If a key is common to both maps, the resulting map will contain the key multiple times.
If other is shared, then the items will be copied instead.
Returns an iterator pointing to the item that immediately follows the last item with key key in the map. If the map contains no item with key key, the function returns an iterator to the nearest item with a greater key.
Example:
QMultiMap<int, QString> multimap; multimap.insert(1, "one"); multimap.insert(5, "five"); multimap.insert(5, "five (2)"); multimap.insert(10, "ten"); multimap.upperBound(0); // returns iterator to (1, "one") multimap.upperBound(1); // returns iterator to (5, "five") multimap.upperBound(2); // returns iterator to (5, "five") multimap.lowerBound(5); // returns iterator to (5, "five (2)") multimap.lowerBound(6); // returns iterator to (10, "ten") multimap.upperBound(10); // returns end() multimap.upperBound(999); // returns end()
See also lowerBound() and find().
This is an overloaded function.
Returns the value associated with the key key.
If the multi map contains no item with key key, the function returns defaultValue. If no defaultValue is specified, the function returns a default-constructed value. If there are multiple items for key in the multi map, the value of the most recently inserted one is returned.
See also key(), values(), and contains().
Returns a list containing all the values in the map, in ascending order of their keys. If a key is associated with multiple values, all of its values will be in the list, and not just the most recently inserted one.
Returns a list containing all the values associated with key key, from the most recently inserted to the least recently inserted one.
[since 6.1] template <typename Key, typename T, typename Predicate> qsizetype erase_if(QMultiMap<Key, T> &map, Predicate pred)
Removes all elements for which the predicate pred returns true from the multi map map.
The function supports predicates which take either an argument of type QMultiMap<Key, T>::iterator, or an argument of type std::pair<const Key &, T &>.
Returns the number of elements removed, if any.
This function was introduced in Qt 6.1.
Returns true if lhs is not equal to rhs; otherwise returns false.
Two multi maps are considered equal if they contain the same (key, value) pairs, in the same order (which matters for duplicate keys).
This function requires the key and the value types to implement operator==().
See also operator==().
Writes the multi map map to stream out.
This function requires the key and value types to implement operator<<().
See also Format of the QDataStream operators.
