get key from map c++ code example

Example 1: c++ get map keys

template<typename TK, typename TV>
std::vector<TK> extract_keys(std::map<TK, TV> const& input_map) {
  std::vector<TK> retval;
  for (auto const& element : input_map) {
    retval.push_back(element.first);
  }
  return retval;
}

Example 2: c++ map find

// map::find
#include <iostream>
#include <map>

int main ()
{
  std::map<char,int> mymap;
  std::map<char,int>::iterator it;

  mymap['a']=50;
  mymap['b']=100;
  mymap['c']=150;
  mymap['d']=200;

  it = mymap.find('b');
  if (it != mymap.end())
    mymap.erase (it);

  // print content:
  std::cout << "elements in mymap:" << '\n';
  std::cout << "a => " << mymap.find('a')->second << '\n';
  std::cout << "c => " << mymap.find('c')->second << '\n';
  std::cout << "d => " << mymap.find('d')->second << '\n';

  return 0;
}
