Return iterator to end

Returns an iterator pointing to the past-the-end element in the unordered_map container (1) or in one of its buckets (2).

The iterator returned by end does not point to any element, but to the position that follows the last element in the unordered_map container (its past-the-end position). Thus, the value returned shall not be dereferenced - it is generally used to describe the open-end of a range, such as [begin,end).

Notice that an unordered_map object makes no guarantees on which order its elements follow. But, in any case, the range that goes from its begin to its end covers all the elements in the container (or the bucket), until invalidated.

Parameters

n: Bucket number. This shall be lower than bucket_count.
It is an optional parameter that changes the behavior of this member function: if set, the iterator retrieved points to the past-the-end element of a bucket, otherwise it points to the past-the-end element of the container.
Member type size_type is an unsigned integral type.

Return Value

An iterator to the element past the end of the container (1) or the bucket (2).

All return types (iterator, const_iterator, local_iterator and const_local_iterator) are member types. In the unordered_map class template, these are forward iterator types.
Local iterators are of the same category as non-local iterators. Their value_type, difference_type, pointer and reference member types are also the same. But the iterators themselves are not necessarily of the same type.

Example

// unordered_map::begin/end example
#include <iostream>
#include <unordered_map>

int main ()
{
  std::unordered_map<std::string,std::string> mymap;
  mymap = {{"Australia","Canberra"},{"U.S.","Washington"},{"France","Paris"}};

  std::cout << "mymap contains:";
  for ( auto it = mymap.begin(); it != mymap.end(); ++it )
    std::cout << " " << it->first << ":" << it->second;
  std::cout << std::endl;

  std::cout << "mymap's buckets contain:\n";
  for ( unsigned i = 0; i < mymap.bucket_count(); ++i) {
    std::cout << "bucket #" << i << " contains:";
    for ( auto local_it = mymap.begin(i); local_it!= mymap.end(i); ++local_it )
      std::cout << " " << local_it->first << ":" << local_it->second;
    std::cout << std::endl;
  }

  return 0;
}

Possible output:

mymap contains: France:Paris Australia:Canberra U.S.:Washington
mymap's buckets contain:
bucket #0 contains:
bucket #1 contains:
bucket #2 contains:
bucket #3 contains:
bucket #4 contains:
bucket #5 contains: France:Paris
bucket #6 contains:
bucket #7 contains: Australia:Canberra
bucket #8 contains: U.S.:Washington
bucket #9 contains:
bucket #10 contains:
