std::unordered_map::erase(3) | C++ Standard Libary | std::unordered_map::erase(3) |
NAME¶
std::unordered_map::erase - std::unordered_map::erase
Synopsis¶
iterator erase( iterator pos ); (since C++11)
iterator erase( const_iterator pos ); (since C++11)
iterator erase( const_iterator first, (since C++11)
const_iterator last ); (1)
size_type erase( const Key& key ); (2) (3) (since
C++11)
template< class K > (4) (since C++23)
size_type erase( K&& x );
Removes specified elements from the container.
1) Removes the element at pos.
2) Removes the elements in the range [first; last), which must be a valid
range in
*this.
3) Removes the element (if one exists) with the key equivalent to key.
4) Removes the element (if one exists) with key that compares equivalent to
the
value x. This overload participates in overload resolution only if
Hash::is_transparent and KeyEqual::is_transparent are valid and each denotes
a type,
and neither iterator nor const_iterator is implicitly convertible from K.
This
assumes that such Hash is callable with both K and Key type, and that the
KeyEqual
is transparent, which, together, allows calling this function without
constructing
an instance of Key.
References and iterators to the erased elements are invalidated. Other
iterators and
references are not invalidated.
The iterator pos must be valid and dereferenceable. Thus the end() iterator
(which
is valid, but is not dereferenceable) cannot be used as a value for pos.
The order of the elements that are not erased is preserved. (This makes it
possible
to erase individual elements while iterating through the container.)
Parameters¶
pos - iterator to the element to remove
first, last - range of elements to remove
key - key value of the elements to remove
x - a value of any type that can be transparently compared with a key
denoting the elements to remove
Return value¶
1-2) Iterator following the last removed element.
3,4) Number of elements removed (0 or 1).
Exceptions¶
1,2) Throws nothing.
3,4) Any exceptions thrown by the Hash and KeyEqual object.
Complexity¶
Given an instance c of unordered_map:
1) Average case: constant, worst case: c.size()
2) Average case: std::distance(first, last), worst case: c.size()
3) Average case: c.count(key), worst case: c.size()
4) Average case: c.count(x), worst case: c.size()
Notes¶
Feature-test macro: __cpp_lib_associative_heterogeneous_erasure (for overload (4))
Example¶
// Run this code
#include <unordered_map>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::unordered_map<int, std::string> c = {
{1, "one" }, {2, "two" }, {3, "three"},
{4, "four"}, {5, "five"}, {6, "six" }
};
// erase all odd numbers from c
for(auto it = c.begin(); it != c.end(); ) {
if(it->first % 2 != 0)
it = c.erase(it);
else
++it;
}
for(auto& p : c) {
std::cout << p.second << ' ';
}
}
Possible output:¶
two four six
