std::flat_multimap<Key,T,Compare,KeyContainer,MappedContainer>::begin, std::flat_multimap<Key,T,Compare,KeyContainer,MappedContainer>::cbegin

Since C++23

Returns an iterator to the first element of the flat_multimap.

# Declarations

iterator begin() noexcept;

(since C++23)

const_iterator begin() const noexcept;

(since C++23)

const_iterator cbegin() const noexcept;

(since C++23)

# Return value

Iterator to the first element.

# Example

#include <iostream>
#include <flat_map>
 
int main()
{
    std::flat_multimap<int, int> map{{4, 13}, {9, 94}, {1, 19}, {4, 42}};
 
    for (auto it = map.cbegin(); it != map.cend(); ++it)
        std::cout << '[' << it->first << "] = " << it->second << '\n';
 
    // Unlike std::multimap's bidirectional iterators, the std::flat_multimap
    // iterators are random-access, so they can be used with the operator[]:
    auto it = map.cbegin();
    assert(it[1] == 19);
    assert(it[4] == 13);
    assert(it[4] == 42);
    assert(it[9] == 94);
}
