# std::multimap

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container

Defined in header `<map>` |  |
template< class Key, class T, class Compare = std::less<Key>, class Allocator = std::allocator<std::pair<const Key, T> > > class multimap; |  |

Multimap is an associative container that contains a sorted list of key-value pairs. Sorting is done according to the comparison function `Compare`, applied to the keys. Search, insertion, and removal operations have logarithmic complexity.

The order of the key-value pairs whose keys compare equivalent is the order of insertion and does not change. (since C++11)

`std::multimap` meets the requirements of `Container`, `AllocatorAwareContainer`, `AssociativeContainer` and `ReversibleContainer`.
