std::unordered_map
is an associative container that contains key-value pairs with unique keys. Search, insertion, and removal of elements have average constant-time complexity.
Internally, the elements are not sorted in any particular order, but organized into buckets. Which bucket an element is placed into depends entirely on the hash of its key. Keys with the same hash code appear in the same bucket. This allows fast access to individual elements, since once the hash is computed, it refers to the bucket containing the element.
Two keys are considered equivalent if the map's key equality predicate returns true when passed those keys. If two keys are equivalent, the hash function must return the same value for both keys.
std::unordered_map
meets the requirements of Container, AllocatorAwareContainer, UnorderedAssociativeContainer.
std::unordered_map
are constexpr: it is possible to create and use std::unordered_map
objects in the evaluation of a constant expression.
However, std::unordered_map
objects generally cannot be constexpr, because any dynamically allocated storage must be released in the same evaluation of constant expression.
