multiset::upper_bound
Returns an iterator to the first element in a multiset with a key that is greater than a specified key.
const_iterator upper_bound(
const Key& _Key
) const;
iterator upper_bound(
const Key& _Key
);
Parameters
- _Key
The argument key to be compared with the sort key of an element from the multiset being searched.
Return Value
An iterator or const_iterator that addresses the location of an element in a multiset with a key that is greater than the argument key, or that addresses the location succeeding the last element in the multiset if no match is found for the key.
Example
// multiset_upper_bound.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <set>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
multiset <int> ms1;
multiset <int> :: const_iterator ms1_AcIter, ms1_RcIter;
ms1.insert( 10 );
ms1.insert( 20 );
ms1.insert( 30 );
ms1_RcIter = ms1.upper_bound( 20 );
cout << "The first element of multiset ms1 with a key greater "
<< "than 20 is: " << *ms1_RcIter << "." << endl;
ms1_RcIter = ms1.upper_bound( 30 );
// If no match is found for the key, end( ) is returned
if ( ms1_RcIter == ms1.end( ) )
cout << "The multiset ms1 doesn't have an element "
<< "with a key greater than 30." << endl;
else
cout << "The element of multiset ms1 with a key > 40 is: "
<< *ms1_RcIter << "." << endl;
// The element at a specific location in the multiset can be
// found using a dereferenced iterator addressing the location
ms1_AcIter = ms1.begin( );
ms1_RcIter = ms1.upper_bound( *ms1_AcIter );
cout << "The first element of ms1 with a key greater than"
<< endl << "that of the initial element of ms1 is: "
<< *ms1_RcIter << "." << endl;
}
The first element of multiset ms1 with a key greater than 20 is: 30. The multiset ms1 doesn't have an element with a key greater than 30. The first element of ms1 with a key greater than that of the initial element of ms1 is: 20.
