hash_map::end
Returns an iterator that addresses the location succeeding the last element in a hash_map.
const_iterator end( ) const;
iterator end( );
Return Value
A bidirectional iterator that addresses the location succeeding the last element in a hash_map. If the hash_map is empty, then hash_map::end == hash_map::begin.
Remarks
end is used to test whether an iterator has reached the end of its hash_map.
The value returned by end should not be dereferenced.
In Visual C++ .NET 2003, members of the <hash_map> and <hash_set> header files are no longer in the std namespace, but rather have been moved into the stdext namespace. See The stdext Namespace for more information.
Example
// hash_map_end.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#define _DEFINE_DEPRECATED_HASH_CLASSES 0
#include <hash_map>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
using namespace stdext;
hash_map <int, int> hm1;
hash_map <int, int> :: iterator hm1_Iter;
hash_map <int, int> :: const_iterator hm1_cIter;
typedef pair <int, int> Int_Pair;
hm1.insert ( Int_Pair ( 1, 10 ) );
hm1.insert ( Int_Pair ( 2, 20 ) );
hm1.insert ( Int_Pair ( 3, 30 ) );
hm1_cIter = hm1.end( );
hm1_cIter--;
cout << "The value of last element of hm1 is "
<< hm1_cIter -> second << "." << endl;
hm1_Iter = hm1.end( );
hm1_Iter--;
hm1.erase ( hm1_Iter );
// The following 2 lines would err because the iterator is const
// hm1_cIter = hm1.end ( );
// hm1_cIter--;
// hm1.erase ( hm1_cIter );
hm1_cIter = hm1.end( );
hm1_cIter--;
cout << "The value of last element of hm1 is now "
<< hm1_cIter -> second << "." << endl;
}
The value of last element of hm1 is 30.
The value of last element of hm1 is now 20.
