23.4.3 Class template map [map]

23.4.3.1 Overview [map.overview]

1
#
A map is an associative container that supports unique keys (i.e., contains at most one of each key value) and provides for fast retrieval of values of another type T based on the keys.
The map class supports bidirectional iterators.
2
#
A map meets all of the requirements of a container ([container.reqmts]), of a reversible container ([container.rev.reqmts]), of an allocator-aware container ([container.alloc.reqmts]).
and of an associative container ([associative.reqmts]).
A map also provides most operations described in [associative.reqmts] for unique keys.
This means that a map supports the a_uniq operations in [associative.reqmts] but not the a_eq operations.
For a map<Key,T> the key_type is Key and the value_type is pair<const Key,T>.
Descriptions are provided here only for operations on map that are not described in one of those tables or for operations where there is additional semantic information.
