C++ Map Erase Purpose Explained
In C++, a map is an associative container that stores key-value pairs and sorts them by key. erase is one of the member functions of the map container, used to delete the element corresponding to the specified key in the map.
The erase function in the map has two different forms.
- Delete the element at the specified iterator position.
- Delete the key that is passed as a constant reference.
By using the erase function, you can remove the element corresponding to a specific key in a map, thus altering the size and content of the map.
