NAME
multiset - An associative container providing fast access to
stored key values. Storage of duplicate keys is allowed.
A multiset supports bidirectional iterators.
SYNOPSIS
#include <set>
template <class Key, class Compare = less<Key>,
class Allocator = allocator<Key> >
class multiset;
DESCRIPTION
multiset <Key, Compare, Allocator> provides fast access to stored
key values. The default operation for key comparison is the <
operator. Insertion of duplicate keys is allowed with a multiset.
multiset provides bidirectional iterators which point to a stored
key.
Any type used for the template parameter Key must provide the
following (where T is the type, t is a value of T and u is a
const value of T):
Copy constructors T(t) and T(u)
Destructor t.~T()
Address of &t and &u yielding T* and
const T* respectively
Assignment t = a where a is a
(possibly const) value of T The type used
for the Compare template parameter must
satisfy the requirements for binary
functions.

CONSTRUCTOR AND DESTRUCTOR
explicit multiset(const Compare& comp = Compare(),
const Allocator& alloc = Allocator());
Default constructor. Constructs an empty multiset which
will use the optional relation comp to order keys, if it is
supplied, and the allocator alloc for all storage management.
template <class InputIterator>
multiset(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,
const Compare& = Compare(),
const Allocator& = Allocator());
Constructs a multiset containing values in the range [first,
last).
multiset(const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x);
Copy constructor. Creates a new multiset by copying all key
values from x.
~multiset();
The destructor. Releases any allocated memory for this multiset.
ASSIGNMENT OPERATOR
multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>&
operator=(const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x);
Replaces the contents of *this with a copy of the contents of x.
ALLOCATOR
allocator_type
get_allocator() const;
Returns a copy of the allocator used by self for storage
management.
ITERATORS
iterator
begin();
Returns an iterator pointing to the first element stored in the
multiset. "First" is defined by the multiset's comparison
operator, Compare.
const_iterator
begin();
Returns a const_iterator pointing to the first element stored in
the multiset.
iterator
end();
Returns an iterator pointing to the last element stored in the
multiset, i.e., the off-the-end value.
const_iterator
end();
Returns a const_iterator pointing to the last element stored in
the multiset, i.e., the off-the-end value.
reverse_iterator
rbegin();
Returns a reverse_iterator pointing to the first element stored
in the multiset. "First" is defined by the multiset's
comparison operator, Compare.
const_reverse_iterator
rbegin();
Returns a const_reverse_iterator pointing to the first element
stored in the multiset.
reverse_iterator
rend();
Returns a reverse_iterator pointing to the last element stored
in the multiset, i.e., the off-the-end value.
const_reverse_iterator
rend();
Returns a const_reverse_iterator pointing to the last element
stored in the multiset, i.e., the off-the-end value.
MEMBER FUNCTIONS
void
clear();
Erases all elements from the self.
size_type
count(const key_type& x) const;
Returns the number of elements in the multiset with the key value
x.
bool
empty() const;
Returns true if the multiset is empty, false otherwise.
pair<iterator,iterator>
equal_range(const key_type& x)const;
Returns the pair (lower_bound(x), upper_bound(x)).
size_type
erase(const key_type& x);
Deletes all elements with the key value x from the multiset, if
any exist. Returns the number of deleted elements.
iterator
erase(iterator position);
Deletes the multiset element pointed to by the iterator position.
Returns an iterator pointing to the element following the deleted
element, or end() if the deleted item was the last one in
this list.
iterator
erase(iterator first, iterator last);
Providing the iterators first and last point to the same multiset
and last is reachable from first, all elements in the range
(first, last) will be deleted from the multiset. Returns an
iterator pointing to the element following the last
deleted element, or end() if there were no elements after the
deleted range.
iterator
find(const key_type& x) const;
Searches the multiset for a key value x and returns an iterator
to that key if it is found. If such a value is not found the
iterator end() is returned.
iterator
insert(const value_type& x);
iterator
insert(iterator position, const value_type& x);
x is inserted into the multiset. A position may be supplied as a
hint regarding where to do the insertion. If the insertion
may be done right after position, then it takes amortized
constant time. Otherwise, it will take O(log N) time.
template <class InputIterator>
void
insert(InputIterator first, InputIterator last);
Copies of each element in the range [first, last) will be
inserted into the multiset. This insert takes
approximately O(N*log(size()+N)) time.
key_compare
key_comp() const;
Returns a function object capable of comparing key values using
the comparison operation, Compare, of the current multiset.
iterator
lower_bound(const key_type& x) const;
Returns an iterator to the first element whose key is greater
than or equal to x. If no such element exists, end() is
returned.
size_type
max_size() const;
Returns the maximum possible size of the multiset size_type.
size_type
size() const;
Returns the number of elements in the multiset.
void
swap(multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x);
Swaps the contents of the multiset x with the current multiset,
*this.
iterator
upper_bound(const key_type& x) const;
Returns an iterator to the first element whose key is smaller
than or equal to x. If no such element exists then end() is
returned.
value_compare
value_comp() const;
Returns a function object capable of comparing key values using
the comparison operation, Compare, of the current multiset.
NON-MEMBER OPERATORS
template <class Key, class Compare, class Allocator>
operator==(const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x,
const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& y);
Returns true if all elements in x are element-wise equal to
all elements in y, using (T::operator==). Otherwise it
returns false.
template <class Key, class Compare, class Allocator>
operator!=(const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x,
const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& y);
Returns !(x==y).
template <class Key, class Compare, class Allocator>
operator<(const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x,
const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& y);
Returns true if x is lexicographically less than y.
Otherwise, it returns false.
template <class Key, class Compare, class Allocator>
operator>(const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& x,
const multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>& y);
Returns y < x.

#include <iostream.h>
typedef multiset<int, less<int>, allocator> set_type;
ostream& operator<<(ostream& out, const set_type& s)
{
copy(s.begin(),s.end(),
ostream_iterator<set_type::value_type,char>(cout," "));
return out;
}
int main(void)
{
// create a multiset of ints
set_type si;
int i;
for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++)
{
for(i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
// insert values with a hint
si.insert(si.begin(), i);
}
}
// print out the multiset
cout << si << endl;
// Make another int multiset and an empty multiset
set_type si2, siResult;
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
si2.insert(i+5);
cout << si2 << endl;
// Try a couple of set algorithms
set_union(si.begin(),si.end(),si2.begin(),si2.end(),
inserter(siResult,siResult.begin()));
cout << "Union:" << endl << siResult << endl;
siResult.erase(siResult.begin(),siResult.end());
set_intersection(si.begin(),si.end(),
si2.begin(),si2.end(),
inserter(siResult,siResult.begin()));
cout << "Intersection:" << endl << siResult << endl;
return 0;
}
Output:
0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9
5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
Union:
0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10 11 12 13 14
Intersection:
5 6 7 8 9
WARNINGS
Member function templates are used in all containers provided by
the Standard C++ Library. An example of this feature is the
constructor for multiset<Key, Compare, Allocator>, which takes two
templated iterators:
template <class InputIterator>
multiset (InputIterator, InputIterator,
const Compare& = Compare(),
const Allocator& = Allocator());
multiset also has an insert function of this type. These
functions, when not restricted by compiler limitations, allow
you to use any type of input iterator as arguments. For compilers
that do not support this feature, we provide substitute
functions that allow you to use an iterator obtained from the
same type of container as the one you are constructing (or calling
a member function on). You can also use a pointer to the type of
element you have in the container.
For example, if your compiler does not support member function
templates, you can construct a multiset in the following two
ways:
int intarray[10];
multiset<int> first_multiset(intarray,
intarray +10);
multiset<int>
second_multiset(first_multiset.begin(), first_multiset.end());
but not this way:
multiset<long>
long_multiset(first_multiset.begin(),first_multiset.end());
since the long_multiset and first_multiset are not the same type.
Also, many compilers do not support default template arguments. If
your compiler is one of these you need to always supply the Compare
template argument and the Allocator template argument. For
instance, you'll have to write:
multiset<int, less<int>, allocator<int> >
instead of:
multiset<int>
