multimap rend in C++ STL

In this article we will be discussing the working, syntax, and examples of multimap::rend() function in C++ STL.

What is Multimap in C++ STL?

Multimaps are the associative containers, which are similar to map containers. It also facilitates to store the elements formed by a combination of key-value and mapped value in a specific order. In a multimap container, there can be multiple elements associated with the same key. The data is internally always sorted with the help of its associated keys.

What is multimap::rend()?

multimap::rend() function is an inbuilt function in C++ STL, which is defined in

Syntax

multiMap_name.rend();

Parameter

This function accepts no parameter.

Return value

This function returns the iterator which is pointing to the last element of the multimap container.

Input 

multimap<char, int> newmap;
newmap[‘a’] = 1;
newmap[‘b’] = 2;
newmap[‘c’] = 3;
newmap.rend();

Output 

error

Example

 Live Demo

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main(){
   multimap<int, int> mul;
   //inserting elements in multimap
   mul.insert({ 1, 10 });
   mul.insert({ 2, 20 });
   mul.insert({ 3, 30 });
   mul.insert({ 4, 40 });
   mul.insert({ 5, 50 });
   //displaying multimap elements
   cout << "\nElements in multimap is : \n";
   cout << "KEY\tELEMENT\n";
   for (auto it = mul.rbegin(); it!= mul.rend(); ++it){
      cout << it->first << '\t' << it->second << '\n';
   }
   return 0;
}

Output

If we run the above code it will generate the following output −

Elements in multimap is :
KEY ELEMENT
5 50
4 40
3 30
2 20
1 10
