Synopsis

#include <set>

template <class Key, class Compare = less<Key>,
          class Allocator = allocator<Key> > 
class multiset;

Description

multiset <Key, Compare, Allocator> provides fast access to stored key values. The default operation for key comparison is the < operator. Insertion of duplicate keys is allowed with a multiset.

multiset provides bidirectional iterators which point to a stored key.

Any type used for the template parameter Key must provide the following (where T is the type, t is a value of T and u is a const value of T):

  Copy constructors    T(t) and T(u)
  Destructor           t.~T()
  Address of           &t and &u yielding T* and
                       const T* respectively
  Assignment           t = a where a is a
                       (possibly const) value of T

The type used for the Compare template parameter must satisfy the requirements for binary functions.

Constructor and Destructor

explicit multiset(const Compare& comp = Compare(),
                   const Allocator& alloc = Allocator());

Default constructor. Constructs an empty multiset which will use the optional relation comp to order keys, if it is supplied, and the allocator alloc for all storage management.

template <class InputIterator>
multiset(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,
          const Compare& = Compare(),
          const Allocator& = Allocator());

Constructs a multiset containing values in the range [first, last).

multiset(const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x);

Copy constructor. Creates a new multiset by copying all key values from x.

~multiset();

The destructor. Releases any allocated memory for this multiset.

Assignment Operator

multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>&  
operator=(const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x);

Replaces the contents of *this with a copy of the contents of x.

Allocator

allocator_type 
get_allocator() const;

Returns a copy of the allocator used by self for storage management.

Iterators

iterator 
begin();

Returns an iterator pointing to the first element stored in the multiset. "First" is defined by the multiset's comparison operator, Compare.

const_iterator 
begin();

Returns a const_iterator pointing to the first element stored in the multiset.

iterator 
end();

Returns an iterator pointing to the last element stored in the multiset, i.e., the off-the-end value.

const_iterator 
end();

Returns a const_iterator pointing to the last element stored in the multiset, i.e., the off-the-end value.

reverse_iterator 
rbegin();

Returns a reverse_iterator pointing to the first element stored in the multiset. "First" is defined by the multiset's comparison operator, Compare.

const_reverse_iterator 
rbegin();

Returns a const_reverse_iterator pointing to the first element stored in the multiset.

reverse_iterator 
rend();

Returns a reverse_iterator pointing to the last element stored in the multiset, i.e., the off-the-end value.

const_reverse_iterator 
rend();

Returns a const_reverse_iterator pointing to the last element stored in the multiset, i.e., the off-the-end value.

Member Functions

void
clear();

Erases all elements from the self.

size_type 
count(const key_type& x) const;

Returns the number of elements in the multiset with the key value x.

bool 
empty() const;

Returns true if the multiset is empty, false otherwise.

pair<iterator,iterator> 
equal_range(const key_type& x)const;

Returns the pair (lower_bound(x), upper_bound(x)).

size_type 
erase(const key_type& x);

Deletes all elements with the key value x from the multiset, if any exist. Returns the number of deleted elements.

iterator
erase(iterator position);

Deletes the multiset element pointed to by the iterator position. Returns an iterator pointing to the element following the deleted element, or end() if the deleted item was the last one in this list.

iterator
erase(iterator first, iterator last);

Providing the iterators first and last point to the same multiset and last is reachable from first, all elements in the range (first, last) will be deleted from the multiset. Returns an iterator pointing to the element following the last deleted element, or end() if there were no elements after the deleted range.

iterator 
find(const key_type& x) const;

Searches the multiset for a key value x and returns an iterator to that key if it is found. If such a value is not found the iterator end() is returned.

iterator 
insert(const value_type& x);
iterator 
insert(iterator position, const value_type& x);

x is inserted into the multiset. A position may be supplied as a hint regarding where to do the insertion. If the insertion may be done right after position, then it takes amortized constant time. Otherwise, it will take O(log N) time.

template <class InputIterator>
void 
insert(InputIterator first, InputIterator last);

Copies of each element in the range [first, last) will be inserted into the multiset. This insert takes approximately O(N*log(size()+N)) time.

key_compare 
key_comp() const;

Returns a function object capable of comparing key values using the comparison operation, Compare, of the current multiset.

iterator 
lower_bound(const key_type& x) const;

Returns an iterator to the first element whose key is greater than or equal to x. If no such element exists, end() is returned.

size_type 
max_size() const;

Returns the maximum possible size of the multiset size_type.

size_type
size() const;

Returns the number of elements in the multiset.

void 
swap(multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x);

Swaps the contents of the multiset x with the current multiset, *this.

iterator 
upper_bound(const key_type& x) const;

Returns an iterator to the first element whose key is smaller than or equal to x. If no such element exists then end() is returned.

value_compare 
value_comp() const;

Returns a function object capable of comparing key values using the comparison operation, Compare, of the current multiset.

Non-member Operators

template <class Key, class Compare, class Allocator>
bool
operator==(const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x,
            const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& y);

Returns true if all elements in x are element-wise equal to all elements in y, using (T::operator==). Otherwise it returns false.

template <class Key, class Compare, class Allocator>
bool
operator!=(const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x,
            const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& y);

Returns !(x==y).

template <class Key, class Compare, class Allocator>
bool
operator<(const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x,
           const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& y);

Returns true if x is lexicographically less than y. Otherwise, it returns false.

()">

template <class Key, class Compare, class Allocator>
bool
operator>(const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x,
           const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& y);

Returns y < x.

template <class Key, class Compare, class Allocator>
bool
operator<=(const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x,
           const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& y);

Returns !(y < x).

=()">

bool
operator>=(const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x,
           const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& y);

Returns !(x < y).

Specialized Algorithms

template <class Key, class Compare, class Allocator>
void 
swap(multiset<Key,Compare,Allocator>& a,
           multiset<Key,Compare,Allocator>&b);

Efficiently swaps the contents of a and b.

Example

//
// multiset.cpp
//
#include <set>
#include <iostream.h>

 typedef multiset<int, less<int>, allocator> set_type;

 ostream& operator<<(ostream& out, const set_type& s)
 {
   copy(s.begin(),s.end(),
        ostream_iterator<set_type::value_type,char>(cout," "));
   return out;
 }


 int main(void)
 {
   // create a multiset of ints
   set_type  si;
   int  i;

   for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++)
   {
     for(i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
       // insert values with a hint
       si.insert(si.begin(), i);
     }
   }

   // print out the multiset
   cout << si << endl;

   // Make another int multiset and an empty multiset
   set_type si2, siResult;
   for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
      si2.insert(i+5);
   cout << si2 << endl;

   // Try a couple of set algorithms
   set_union(si.begin(),si.end(),si2.begin(),si2.end(),
          inserter(siResult,siResult.begin()));
   cout << "Union:" << endl << siResult << endl;

   siResult.erase(siResult.begin(),siResult.end());
   set_intersection(si.begin(),si.end(),
          si2.begin(),si2.end(),
          inserter(siResult,siResult.begin()));
   cout << "Intersection:" << endl << siResult << endl;
  
   return 0;
 }

Output: 
0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9
5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
Union:
0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10 11 12 13 14
Intersection:
5 6 7 8 9

Warnings

Member function templates are used in all containers provided by the Standard Template Library. An example of this feature is the constructor for multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>, which takes two templated iterators:

template <class InputIterator>
multiset (InputIterator, InputIterator,
          const Compare& = Compare(),
          const Allocator& = Allocator());

multiset also has an insert function of this type. These functions, when not restricted by compiler limitations, allow you to use any type of input iterator as arguments. For compilers that do not support this feature, we provide substitute functions that allow you to use an iterator obtained from the same type of container as the one you are constructing (or calling a member function on). You can also use a pointer to the type of element you have in the container.

For example, if your compiler does not support member function templates, you can construct a multiset in the following two ways:

int intarray[10];
multiset<int> first_multiset(intarray, 
                                                   intarray +10);
multiset<int>
   second_multiset(first_multiset.begin(), first_multiset.end());

but not this way:

multiset<long>
   long_multiset(first_multiset.begin(),first_multiset.end());

since the long_multiset and first_multiset are not the same type.

Also, many compilers do not support default template arguments. If your compiler is one of these you need to always supply the Compare template argument and the Allocator template argument. For instance, you'll have to write:

multiset<int, less<int>, allocator<int> >

instead of:

multiset<int>
