std::unordered_multiset<Key,Hash,KeyEqual,Allocator>:: find

1,2) Finds an element with key equivalent to key . If there are several elements with the requested key in the container, any of them may be returned.
3,4) Finds an element 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. 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 - key value of the element to search for
x - a value of any type that can be transparently compared with a key

Return value

An iterator to the requested element. If no such element is found, past-the-end (see end() ) iterator is returned.

Complexity

Constant on average, worst case linear in the size of the container.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <unordered_set>
 
int main()
{
    // Simple comparison demo.
    std::unordered_multiset<int> example{1, 2, 3, 4};
 
    if (auto search = example.find(2); search != example.end())
        std::cout << "Found " << (*search) << '\n';
    else
        std::cout << "Not found\n";
}

Output:

Found 2
