hash_multimap::upper_bound
Note
This API is obsolete. The alternative is unordered_multimap Class.
Returns an iterator to the first element in a hash_multimap with a key that is greater than a specified key.
iterator upper_bound(
const Key& _Key
);
const_iterator upper_bound(
const Key& _Key
) const;
Parameters
- _Key
The argument key to be compared with the sort key of an element from the hash_multimap being searched.
Return Value
An iterator or const_iterator that addresses the location of an element in a hash_multimap with a key that is greater than the argument key, or that addresses the location succeeding the last element in the hash_multimap if no match is found for the key.
If the return value of upper_bound is assigned to a const_iterator, the hash_multimap object cannot be modified. If the return value of upper_bound is assigned to a iterator, the hash_multimap object can be modified.
Remarks
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_upper_bound.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> :: const_iterator hm1_AcIter, hm1_RcIter;
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.insert ( Int_Pair ( 3, 40 ) );
hm1_RcIter = hm1.upper_bound( 1 );
cout << "The 1st element of hash_multimap hm1 with "
<< "a key greater than 1 is: "
<< hm1_RcIter -> second << "." << endl;
hm1_RcIter = hm1.upper_bound( 2 );
cout << "The first element of hash_multimap hm1\n with a key "
<< " greater than 2 is: "
<< hm1_RcIter -> second << "." << endl;
// If no match is found for the key, end( ) is returned
hm1_RcIter = hm1.lower_bound( 4 );
if ( hm1_RcIter == hm1.end( ) )
cout << "The hash_multimap hm1 doesn't have an element "
<< "with a key of 4." << endl;
else
cout << "The element of hash_multimap hm1 with a key of 4 is: "
<< hm1_RcIter -> second << "." << endl;
// The element at a specific location in the hash_multimap can be
// found using a dereferenced iterator addressing the location
hm1_AcIter = hm1.begin( );
hm1_RcIter = hm1.upper_bound( hm1_AcIter -> first );
cout << "The first element of hm1 with a key greater than"
<< endl << " that of the initial element of hm1 is: "
<< hm1_RcIter -> second << "." << endl;
}
The 1st element of hash_multimap hm1 with a key greater than 1 is: 20. The first element of hash_multimap hm1 with a key greater than 2 is: 30. The hash_multimap hm1 doesn't have an element with a key of 4. The first element of hm1 with a key greater than that of the initial element of hm1 is: 20.
