public member function
<unordered_map>

std::unordered_multimap::find

      iterator find ( const key_type& k );
const_iterator find ( const key_type& k ) const;
Get iterator to element
Searches the container for an element with k as key and returns an iterator to it if found, otherwise it returns an iterator to unordered_multimap::end (the element past the end of the container).

To obtain a range with all the elements whose key is k you can use member function equal_range.
To just check whether a particular key exists, you can use count.

Parameters

k
Key to be searched for.
Member type key_type is the type of the keys for the elements in the container, defined in unordered_multimap as an alias of its first template parameter (Key).

Return value

An iterator to the element, if the specified key value is found, or unordered_multimap::end if the specified key is not found in the container.

Member types iterator and const_iterator are forward iterator types.

// unordered_multimap::find
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <unordered_map>

int main ()
{
  std::unordered_multimap<std::string,std::string> mymap = {
     {"mom","church"},
     {"mom","college"},
     {"dad","office"},
     {"bro","school"} };

  std::cout << "one of the values for 'mom' is: ";
  std::cout << mymap.find("mom")->second;
  std::cout << std::endl;

  return 0;
}


Output:
one of the values from 'mom' is: church

Complexity

Average case: constant.
Worst case: linear in container size.

Iterator validity

No changes.
