Returns a reference to the mapped value of the element with specified key. If no such element exists, an exception of type std::out_of_range is thrown.

1,2) The key is equivalent to key .
3,4) The key compares equivalent to the value x . The reference to the mapped value is obtained as if by expression this - > find ( x ) - > second .
The expression this - > find ( x ) must be well-formed and have well-defined behavior, otherwise the behavior is undefined.
These overloads participate in overload resolution only if Hash :: is_transparent and KeyEqual :: is_transparent are valid and each denotes a type. 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 .

Parameters

key - the key of the element to find
x - a value of any type that can be transparently compared with a key

Return value

A reference to the mapped value of the requested element.

Exceptions

1,2) std::out_of_range if the container does not have an element with the specified key .
3,4) std::out_of_range if the container does not have the specified element, that is, if find ( x ) == end ( ) is true .

Complexity

Average case: constant, worst case: linear in size.
