std::unordered_map find() method
- od C++20
- od C++11
// (1) Non const version
iterator find( const Key& key );
// (2) Const version
const_iterator find( const Key& key ) const;
// (3) Non const version
template< class K > iterator find( const K& x );
// (4) Const version
template< class K > const_iterator find( const K& x ) const;
// (1) Non const version
iterator find( const Key& key );
// (2) Const version
const_iterator find( const Key& key ) const;
- (1-2) Finds an element with key equivalent to
key
. - (3-4) Finds an element with key that compares equivalent to the value
x
. This overload participates in overload resolution only ifHash::is_transparent
andKeyEqual::is_transparent
are valid and each denotes a type. This assumes that suchHash
is callable with bothK
andKey
type, and that theKeyEqual
is transparent, which, together, allows calling this function without constructing an instance ofKey
.
Parameters
key
- key value of the elements to countx
- a value of any type that can be transparently compared with a key
Return value
Iterator to an element with key equivalent to key
. If no such element is found, past-the-end (see end()
) iterator is returned.
Complexity
Average case, constant - O(1).
Worst case, linear in size of the container - O(size()).
Exceptions
(none)
Notes
Feature testing macro: __cpp_lib_generic_unordered_lookup
(for overload (3-4))
Example
Main.cpp
#include <cstddef>
#include <iostream>
#include <functional>
#include <string>
#include <string_view>
#include <unordered_map>
using namespace std::literals;
using std::size_t;
struct string_hash
{
using hash_type = std::hash<std::string_view>;
using is_transparent = void;
size_t operator()(const char* str) const { return hash_type{}(str); }
size_t operator()(std::string_view str) const { return hash_type{}(str); }
size_t operator()(std::string const& str) const { return hash_type{}(str); }
};
int main()
{
// simple comparison demo
std::unordered_map<int,char> example = {{1,'a'},{2,'b'}};
auto search = example.find(2);
if (search != example.end()) {
std::cout << "Found " << search->first << " " << search->second << '\n';
} else {
std::cout << "Not found\n";
}
// C++20 demo: Heterogeneous lookup for unordered containers (transparent hashing)
std::unordered_map<std::string, size_t, string_hash, std::equal_to<>> map{ {"one"s, 1} };
std::cout << std::boolalpha
<< (map.find("one") != map.end()) << '\n'
<< (map.find("one"s) != map.end()) << '\n'
<< (map.find("one"sv) != map.end()) << '\n';
}
Possible output
Found 2 b
true
true
true
