std::unordered_map<Key,T,Hash,KeyEqual,Allocator>::equal_range

From cppreference.com

std::pair <iterator, iterator> equal_range( const Key& key ) ;
(1) (since C++11)
std::pair <const_iterator, const_iterator> equal_range( const Key& key ) const ;
(2) (since C++11)
template < class K >
std::pair <iterator, iterator> equal_range( const K& x ) ;
(3) (since C++20)
template < class K >
std::pair <const_iterator, const_iterator> equal_range( const K& x ) const ;
(4) (since C++20)
1,2) Returns a range containing all elements with key key
3,4) Returns a range containing all elements in the container with key equivalent to 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 to compare the elements to
x - a value of any type that can be transparently compared with a key

Return value

std::pair containing a pair of iterators defining the wanted range. If there are no such elements, past-the-end (see end()

Complexity

Average case linear in the number of elements with the key key, worst case linear in the size of the container.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <unordered_map>
 
int main()
{
    std::unordered_map<int,char> map = {{1, 'a'},{2, 'b'}};
    auto range = map.equal_range(1);
    for (auto it = range.first; it != range.second; ++it)
        std::cout << it->first << ' ' << it->second << '\n';
}

Output:

1 a
