c++ map loop code example

Example 1: how to iterate through a map in c++

//traditional way (long)
for(map<string,int>::iterator it=m.begin(); it!=m.end(); ++it)
	if(it->second)cout<<it->first<<" ";
//easy way(short) just works with c++11 or later versions
for(auto &x:m)
	if(x.second)cout<<x.first<<" ";
//condition is just an example of use

Example 2: through map c++

//Since c++17
for (auto& [key, value]: myMap) {
    cout << key << " has value " << value << endl;
}
//Since c++11
for (auto& kv : myMap) {
    cout << kv.first << " has value " << kv.second << endl;
}

Example 3: c++ map iterator

#include <iostream>
#include <map>
 
int main() {
  std::map<int, float> num_map;
  // calls a_map.begin() and a_map.end()
  for (auto it = num_map.begin(); it != num_map.end(); ++it) {
    std::cout << it->first << ", " << it->second << '\n';
  }
}
