std::map::find
iterator find (const key_type& k); const_iterator find (const key_type& k) const;
Searches the container for an element with a key equivalent to k and returns an iterator to it if found, otherwise it returns an iterator to map::end.
Two keys are considered equivalent if the container's comparison object returns false reflexively (i.e., no matter the order in which the elements are passed as arguments).
Another member function, map::count, can be used to just check whether a particular key exists.
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 map as an alias of its first template parameter ( Key).
Return value
An iterator to the element, if an element with specified key is found, or map::end otherwise.
If the map object is const-qualified, the function returns a const_iterator. Otherwise, it returns an iterator.
Member types iterator and const_iterator are bidirectional iterator types pointing to elements (of type value_type).
Notice that value_type in map containers is an alias of pair<const key_type, mapped_type>.
