map::count

Returns the number of elements in a map whose key matches a parameter-specified key.

size_type count( 
   const Key& _Key 
) const;

Parameters

• _Key
  The key value of the elements to be matched from the map.

Return Value

1 if the map contains an element whose sort key matches the parameter key; 0 if the map does not contain an element with a matching key.

Remarks

The member function returns the number of elements x in the range

[lower_bound (_Key ), upper_bound (_Key ) )

which is 0 or 1 in the case of map, which is a unique associative container.

Example

When compiling this example with the /Wp64 flag or on a 64-bit platform, compiler warning C4267 will be generated. For more information on this warning, see Compiler Warning (level 3) C4267.

// map_count.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <map>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    using namespace std;
    map<int, int> m1;
    map<int, int>::size_type i;
    typedef pair<int, int> Int_Pair;

    m1.insert(Int_Pair(1, 1));
    m1.insert(Int_Pair(2, 1));
    m1.insert(Int_Pair(1, 4));
    m1.insert(Int_Pair(2, 1));

    // Keys must be unique in map, so duplicates are ignored
    i = m1.count(1);
    cout << "The number of elements in m1 with a sort key of 1 is: "
         << i << "." << endl;

    i = m1.count(2);
    cout << "The number of elements in m1 with a sort key of 2 is: "
         << i << "." << endl;

    i = m1.count(3);
    cout << "The number of elements in m1 with a sort key of 3 is: "
         << i << "." << endl;
}

The number of elements in m1 with a sort key of 1 is: 1.
The number of elements in m1 with a sort key of 2 is: 1.
The number of elements in m1 with a sort key of 3 is: 0.
