Anatomy of std::multimap
std::multimap
is an associative container in C++ that allows the storage of key-value pairs, where a key can map to multiple values. Unlike std::map
, which enforces keys, std::multimap
accommodates situations where a key may be associated with several values.
Declaration and Initialization
To use std::multimap
, include the <map>
header and declare it with the desired key and value types:
#include <map>
std::multimap<int, std::string> myMultimap;
Initialization can be done using the insert
function or initializer lists.
