How can I get all the unique keys in a multimap

0 votes

I have a multimap and I want to save all of the unique keys in it in a vector.

multimap<char,int> mymm;
  multimap<char,int>::iterator it;
  char c;

  mymm.insert(pair<char,int>('x',50));
  mymm.insert(pair<char,int>('y',100));
  mymm.insert(pair<char,int>('y',150));
  mymm.insert(pair<char,int>('y',200));
  mymm.insert(pair<char,int>('z',250));
  mymm.insert(pair<char,int>('z',300));

How can I accomplish this? 

There is a method for counting the number of items with a key, but none for counting the number of unique keys in a multimap.

Added: By unique, I mean all the keys in the multimap just once - they can be duplicated or appear only once in the multimap.

So unique keys here are - xy and z

This method worked for me.

for( multimap<char,int>::iterator it = mymm.begin(), end = mymm.end(); it != end; it = mymm.upper_bound(it->first))

  {
      cout << it->first << ' ' << it->second << endl;
  }

The most straightforward solution is to count the total number of elements in the vector that have the specified value.  If the count is greater than zero, we've found our element.  This is simple to accomplish with the std::count function. #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> int main() { ...READ MORE

how could I use the power function in c/c++ without pow(), functions, or recursion

It is part of a series.  Replace pow() with the previous iteration's value. There is no need for code to call pow ().  Pow(x, 5 * I - 1) and pow(-1, I - 1) may be formed since both have an int exponent dependent on the iterator I from the previous loop iteration. Example: Let f(x, i) = pow(x, 5 * i ...READ MORE
