hash_map::value_type

A type that represents the type of object stored in a hash_map.

typedef pair<const Key, Type> value_type;

Remarks

value_type is declared to be pair <const key_type, mapped_type> and not pair <key_type, mapped_type> because the keys of an associative container may not be changed using a nonconstant iterator or reference.

In Visual C++ .NET 2003, members of the <hash_map> and <hash_set> header files are no longer in the std namespace, but rather have been moved into the stdext namespace. See The stdext Namespace for more information.

Example

// hash_map_value_type.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#define _DEFINE_DEPRECATED_HASH_CLASSES 0
#include <hash_map>
#include <iostream>

int main( ) 
{
   using namespace std;
   using namespace stdext;
   typedef pair <const int, int> cInt2Int;
   hash_map <int, int> hm1;
   hash_map <int, int> :: key_type key1;
   hash_map <int, int> :: mapped_type mapped1;
   hash_map <int, int> :: value_type value1;
   hash_map <int, int> :: iterator pIter;
   
   // value_type can be used to pass the correct type
   // explicitely to avoid implicit type conversion
   hm1.insert ( hash_map <int, int> :: value_type ( 1, 10 ) );

   // Compare other ways to insert objects into a hash_map
   hm1.insert ( cInt2Int ( 2, 20 ) );
   hm1[ 3 ] = 30;

   // Initializing key1 and mapped1
   key1 = ( hm1.begin( ) -> first );
   mapped1 = ( hm1.begin( ) -> second );

   cout << "The key of first element in the hash_map is "
        << key1 << "." << endl;

   cout << "The data value of first element in the hash_map is "
        << mapped1 << "." << endl;

   // The following line would cause an error because
   // the value_type is not assignable
   // value1 = cInt2Int ( 4, 40 );

   cout  << "The keys of the mapped elements are:";
   for ( pIter = hm1.begin( ) ; pIter != hm1.end( ) ; pIter++ )
      cout << " " << pIter -> first;
   cout << "." << endl;

   cout  << "The values of the mapped elements are:";
   for ( pIter = hm1.begin( ) ; pIter != hm1.end( ) ; pIter++ )
      cout << " " << pIter -> second;
   cout << "." << endl;
}
The key of first element in the hash_map is 1.
The data value of first element in the hash_map is 10.
The keys of the mapped elements are: 1 2 3.
The values of the mapped elements are: 10 20 30.
