23.5 Unordered associative containers [unord]

23.5.3 Class template unordered_map [unord.map]

23.5.3.1 Overview [unord.map.overview]

An unordered_map is an unordered associative container that supports unique keys (an unordered_map contains at most one of each key value) and that associates values of another type mapped_type with the keys.
The unordered_map class supports forward iterators.
An unordered_map meets all of the requirements of a container ([container.reqmts]), of an allocator-aware container ([container.alloc.reqmts]), and of an unordered associative container ([unord.req]).
It provides the operations described in the preceding requirements table for unique keys; that is, an unordered_map supports the a_uniq operations in that table, not the a_eq operations.
For an unordered_map<Key, T> the key_type is Key, the mapped_type is T, and the value_type is pair<const Key, T>.
Subclause [unord.map] only describes operations on unordered_map that are not described in one of the requirement tables, or for which there is additional semantic information.
The types iterator and const_iterator meet the constexpr iterator requirements ([iterator.requirements.general]).

23.5.3.2 Constructors [unord.map.cnstr]

constexpr unordered_map() : unordered_map(size_type(see below)) { } constexpr explicit unordered_map(size_type n, const hasher& hf = hasher(), const key_equal& eql = key_equal(), const allocator_type& a = allocator_type());
Effects: Constructs an empty unordered_map using the specified hash function, key equality predicate, and allocator, and using at least n buckets.
For the default constructor, the number of buckets is implementation-defined.
max_load_factor() returns 1.0.
Complexity: Constant.
template<class InputIterator> constexpr unordered_map(InputIterator f, InputIterator l, size_type n = see below, const hasher& hf = hasher(), const key_equal& eql = key_equal(), const allocator_type& a = allocator_type()); template<container-compatible-range<value_type> R> constexpr unordered_map(from_range_t, R&& rg, size_type n = see below, const hasher& hf = hasher(), const key_equal& eql = key_equal(), const allocator_type& a = allocator_type()); constexpr unordered_map(initializer_list<value_type> il, size_type n = see below, const hasher& hf = hasher(), const key_equal& eql = key_equal(), const allocator_type& a = allocator_type());
Effects: Constructs an empty unordered_map using the specified hash function, key equality predicate, and allocator, and using at least n buckets.
If n is not provided, the number of buckets is implementation-defined.
Then inserts elements from the range [f, l), rg, or il, respectively.
max_load_factor() returns 1.0.
Complexity: Average case linear, worst case quadratic.
