iterator find( const Key& key );	(1)
const_iterator find( const Key& key ) const;	(2)

1,2) Finds an element with key equivalent to key. If there are several elements with key in the container, any of them may be returned.

3,4) Finds an element with key that compares equivalent to the value x. This overload only participates in overload resolution if the qualified-id Compare::is_transparent is valid and denotes a type. It allows calling this function without constructing an instance of Key

Parameters

key	-	key value of the element to search for
x	-	a value of any type that can be transparently compared with a key

Return value

Iterator to an element with key equivalent to key. If no such element is found, past-the-end (see end()) iterator is returned.

Complexity

Logarithmic in the size of the container.

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <map>
 
int main()
{  
    std::multimap<int,char> example = {{1,'a'},{2,'b'}};
 
    auto search = example.find(2);
    if(search != example.end()) {
        std::cout << "Found " << search->first << " " << search->second << '\n';
    }
    else {
        std::cout << "Not found\n";
    }
}

Output:

Found 2 b
