multimap::end
Returns an iterator that addresses the location succeeding the last element in a multimap.
const_iterator end( ) const;
iterator end( );
Return Value
A bidirectional iterator that addresses the location succeeding the last element in a multimap. If the multimap is empty, then multimap::end == multimap::begin.
Remarks
end is used to test whether an iterator has reached the end of its multimap.
The value returned by end should not be dereferenced.
Example
// multimap_end.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <map>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
multimap <int, int> m1;
multimap <int, int> :: iterator m1_Iter;
multimap <int, int> :: const_iterator m1_cIter;
typedef pair <int, int> Int_Pair;
m1.insert ( Int_Pair ( 1, 10 ) );
m1.insert ( Int_Pair ( 2, 20 ) );
m1.insert ( Int_Pair ( 3, 30 ) );
m1_cIter = m1.end( );
m1_cIter--;
cout << "The value of last element of m1 is "
<< m1_cIter -> second << endl;
m1_Iter = m1.end( );
m1_Iter--;
m1.erase ( m1_Iter );
// The following 2 lines would err because the iterator is const
// m1_cIter = m1.end ( );
// m1_cIter--;
// m1.erase ( m1_cIter );
m1_cIter = m1.end( );
m1_cIter--;
cout << "The value of last element of m1 is now "
<< m1_cIter -> second << endl;
}
The value of last element of m1 is 30 The value of last element of m1 is now 20
