hash_multimap::end

Note

This API is obsolete. The alternative is unordered_multimap Class.

Returns an iterator that addresses the location succeeding the last element in a hash_multimap.

const_iterator end( ) const; 
iterator end( );

Return Value

A bidirectional iterator that addresses the location succeeding the last element in a hash_multimap. If the hash_multimap is empty, then hash_multimap::end == hash_multimap::begin.

Remarks

end is used to test whether an iterator has reached the end of its hash_multimap.

The value returned by end should not be dereferenced.

In Visual C++ .NET 2003, members of the <hash_map> and <hash_set> header files are no longer in the std namespace, but rather have been moved into the stdext namespace. See The stdext Namespace for more information.

Example

// hash_multimap_end.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <hash_map>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   using namespace stdext;
   hash_multimap <int, int> hm1;

   hash_multimap <int, int> :: iterator hm1_Iter;
   hash_multimap <int, int> :: const_iterator hm1_cIter;
   typedef pair <int, int> Int_Pair;

   hm1.insert ( Int_Pair ( 1, 10 ) );
   hm1.insert ( Int_Pair ( 2, 20 ) );
   hm1.insert ( Int_Pair ( 3, 30 ) );

   hm1_cIter = hm1.end( );
   hm1_cIter--;
   cout << "The value of last element of hm1 is " 
        << hm1_cIter -> second << "." << endl;
   
   hm1_Iter = hm1.end( );
   hm1_Iter--;
   hm1.erase ( hm1_Iter );

   // The following 2 lines would err because the iterator is const
   // hm1_cIter = hm1.end ( );
   // hm1_cIter--;
   // hm1.erase ( hm1_cIter );

   hm1_cIter = hm1.end( );
   hm1_cIter--;
   cout << "The value of last element of hm1 is now "
        << hm1_cIter -> second << "." << endl;
}
The value of last element of hm1 is 30.
The value of last element of hm1 is now 20.
