Binary searching in a `std::multimap` can be a task due to its unordered nature, but you can achieve effective searching using iterators. Below is an example demonstrating how to perform a binary search-like operation in a `std::multimap`.
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
int main() {
// Create a multimap
std::multimap mmap;
mmap.insert(std::make_pair(1, "one"));
mmap.insert(std::make_pair(2, "two"));
mmap.insert(std::make_pair(2, "dos"));
mmap.insert(std::make_pair(3, "three"));
// The key to search for
int key_to_search = 2;
// Use equal_range to find all entries with the key
auto range = mmap.equal_range(key_to_search);
// Output the results
std::cout << "Results for key " << key_to_search << ":" << std::endl;
for (auto it = range.first; it != range.second; ++it) {
std::cout << it->second << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
