# std::unordered_multimap

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container

Defined in header `<unordered_map>` |  |
template< class Key, class T, class Hash = std::hash<Key>, class KeyEqual = std::equal_to<Key>, class Allocator = std::allocator< std::pair<const Key, T> > > class unordered_multimap; | (1) | (since C++11)
namespace pmr { template <class Key, class T, class Hash = std::hash<Key>, class Pred = std::equal_to<Key>> using unordered_multimap = std::unordered_multimap<Key, T, Hash, Pred, std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator<std::pair<const Key,T>>>; } | (2) | (since C++17)

Unordered multimap is an unordered associative container that supports equivalent keys (an unordered_multimap may contain multiple copies of each key value) and that associates values of another type with the keys. The unordered_multimap class supports forward iterators. Search, insertion, and removal have average constant-time complexity.

Internally, the elements are not sorted in any particular order, but organized into buckets. Which bucket an element is placed into depends entirely on the hash of its key. This allows fast access to individual elements, since once hash is computed, it refers to the exact bucket the element is placed into.

The iteration order of this container is not required to be stable (so, for example, std::equal cannot be used to compare two `std::unordered_multimap`s), except that every group of elements whose keys compare equivalent (compare equal with key_eq() as the comparator) forms a contiguous subrange in the iteration order, also accessible with equal_range().

`std::unordered_multimap` meets the requirements of `Container`, `AllocatorAwareContainer`, `UnorderedAssociativeContainer`.

### [edit] Member types

Member type | Definition
`key_type` | `Key` [edit]
`mapped_type` | `T` [edit]
`value_type` | std::pair<const Key, T> [edit]
`size_type` | Unsigned integer type (usually std::size_t) [edit]
`difference_type` | Signed integer type (usually std::ptrdiff_t) [edit]
`hasher` | `Hash` [edit]
`key_equal` | `KeyEqual` [edit]
`allocator_type` | `Allocator` [edit]
`reference` | `value_type&` [edit]
`const_reference` | `const value_type&` [edit]
`pointer` | std::allocator_traits<Allocator>::pointer [edit]
`const_pointer` | std::allocator_traits<Allocator>::const_pointer [edit]
`iterator` | `ForwardIterator` [edit]
`const_iterator` | Constant forward iterator [edit]
`local_iterator` | An iterator type whose category, value, difference, pointer and reference types are the same as `iterator`. This iterator can be used to iterate through a single bucket but not across buckets[edit]
`const_local_iterator` | An iterator type whose category, value, difference, pointer and reference types are the same as `const_iterator`. This iterator can be used to iterate through a single bucket but not across buckets[edit]
`node_type` | a specialization of node handle representing a container node (since C++17) [edit]
