public member function

std::multiset::find

<set>
iterator find ( const key_type& x ) const;
Get iterator to element
Searches the container for an element with a value of x and returns an iterator to it if found, otherwise it returns an iterator to multiset::end (the element past the end of the container).

Notice that this function returns an iterator to only one of the elements with that value; To obtain the entire range of elements with a given value, you can use multiset::equal_range.

Parameters

x
Value to be searched for.
key_type is a member type defined in multiset containers as an alias of Key, which is the first template parameter and the type of the elements stored in the container.

Return value

An iterator to one of the elements with that value, if such an element is found, or multiset::end if the specified value is not found in the container.
iterator is a member type, defined in multiset as a bidirectional iterator type.

// multiset::find
#include <iostream>
#include <set>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  multiset<int> mymultiset;
  multiset<int>::iterator it;

  // set some initial values:
  for (int i=1; i<=5; i++) mymultiset.insert(i*10);   // 10 20 30 40 50

  it=mymultiset.find(20);
  mymultiset.erase (it);
  mymultiset.erase (mymultiset.find(40));

  cout << "mymultiset contains:";
  for (it=mymultiset.begin(); it!=mymultiset.end(); it++)
    cout << " " << *it;
  cout << endl;

  return 0;
}


Output:
mymultiset contains: 10 30 50

Complexity

Logarithmic in size.
