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_map;		(since C++11)

Unordered map is an associative container that contains key-value pairs with unique keys. Search, insertion, and removal of elements 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.

std::unordered_map meets the requirements of Container, AllocatorAwareContainer, UnorderedAssociativeContainer.

Iterator invalidation

Operations	Invalidated
All read only operations, swap, std::swap	Never
clear, rehash, reserve, operator=	Always
insert, emplace, emplace_hint, operator[]	Only if causes rehash
erase	Only to the element erased

Notes

• The swap functions do not invalidate any of the iterators inside the container, but they do invalidate the iterator marking the end of the swap region.

• References and pointers to either key or data stored in the container are only invalidated by erasing that element, even when the corresponding iterator is invalidated.

Member types

Member type	Definition
key_type	Key
mapped_type	T
value_type	std::pair<const Key, T>
size_type	Unsigned integral type (usually std::size_t)
difference_type	Signed integer type (usually std::ptrdiff_t)
hasher	Hash
key_equal	KeyEqual
allocator_type	Allocator
reference	value_type&
const_reference	const value_type&
pointer	std::allocator_traits<Allocator>::pointer
const_pointer	std::allocator_traits<Allocator>::const_pointer
iterator	ForwardIterator
const_iterator	Constant forward iterator
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
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

Member functions

(constructor)	constructs the unordered_map (public member function)
