Question

i’m using a multimap stl, i iterate my map and i did’nt find the object i wanted inside the map, now i want to check if my iterator holds the thing i wanted or not and i’m having difficulties with it because it’s not null or something. thanx!

Answer 1

If it doesn’t find the thing you want then it should equal the iterator returned by the end() method of the container.

So:

iterator it = container.find(something);
if (it == container.end())
{
  //not found
  return;
}
//else found
