title: "const_multimap / const_multimap_ext"
---
{{< callout >}}
Header: `const_multimap.h`
Since: TBC
Similar to: [std::multimap](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/multimap.html)
{{< /callout >}}
A fixed capacity read-only multimap based on a sorted array.
The containers are designed to be able to be constexpr for C++14 and up.
The interface is most similar to `std::multimap`.
Uses `etl::less` as the default key comparison method.
```cpp
etl::const_multimap<typename TKey, typename TMapped, size_t Size, TKeyCompare = etl::less>
etl::const_multimap_ext<typename TKey, typename TMapped, TKeyCompare = etl::less>
```
Inherits from `etl::iconst_multimap<TKey, TMapped, TKeyCompare>`.
`etl::iconst_multimap` may be used as a size independent pointer or reference type for any `etl::const_map` instance.
Both the key type and mapped type must be default constructible.
## Template deduction guides
**C++17 and above**
```cpp
template <typename... TPairs>
etl::const_multimap(TPairs...)
```
**Example**
```cpp
constexpr etl::const_multimap data{ etl::pair{0, 1}, etl::pair{2, 3},
etl::pair{4, 5}, etl::pair{6, 7} };
```
Defines data as an const_multimap of `int`/`int` pairs, of length 4, containing the supplied data.
```cpp
template <typename... TPairs>
etl::const_multimap_ext(TPairs...)
```
**Example**
```cpp
constexpr etl::pair<int, int> values[]{ etl::pair{0, 1}, etl::pair{2, 3},
etl::pair{4, 5}, etl::pair{6, 7} };
constexpr etl::const_multimap_ext data{ values };
```
Defines data as an const_multimap of `int`/`int` pairs, of length 4, containing the supplied data.
```cpp
constexpr values[]{ etl::pair{0, 1}, etl::pair{2, 3},
etl::pair{4, 5}, etl::pair{6, 7} };
constexpr etl::span<const etl::pair<`int`, `int`>, 4> span{ values };
constexpr etl::const_multimap_ext data{ span };
```
Defines data as an const_multimap of `int`/`int` pairs, of length 4, containing the supplied data.
## Member types
| Type | Maps to | Description |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `key_type` | TKey | Must be default constructible. |
| `mapped_type` | TMapped | Must be default constructible. |
| `value_type` | pair<const key_type, mapped_type> | The type is either std::pair (default) or etl::pair (ETL_NO_STL) |
| `size_type` | std::size_t | |
| `difference_type` | std::ptrdiff_t | |
| `const_reference` | const T& | |
| `const_pointer` | const T* | |
|` const_iterator` | | Constant random access iterator |
## Constructor
```cpp
template <typename... TElements>
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 explicit const_multimap(TElements&&... elements) ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Description**
Constructs a const_multimap from a variadic list of elements.
Static asserts if the elements are not of type `value_type`.
Static asserts if the number of elements is greater than the capacity of the `const_multimap`.
## Iterators
```cpp
const_iterator begin() const ETL_NOEXCEPT
const_iterator cbegin() const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Description**
Returns an iterator to the beginning of the multimap.
```cpp
const_iterator end() const ETL_NOEXCEPT
const_iterator cend() const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Description**
Returns an iterator to the end of the multimap.
## Capacity
```cpp
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 bool empty() const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Description**
Returns true if the size of the multimap is zero, otherwise false.
```cpp
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 bool full() const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Description**
Returns true if the size of the lookup is size, otherwise false.
```cpp
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 size_t size() const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Description**
Returns the size of the lookup.
```cpp
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 size_t max_size() const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Description**
Returns the maximum possible Size of the multimap.
## Status
```cpp
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 bool is_valid() const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Description**
Check that the elements are valid for a multimap.
The elements must be sorted.
## Search
```cpp
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 const_iterator find(const key_type& key) const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
```cpp
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 const_iterator lower_bound(const key_type& key) const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
```cpp
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 const_iterator upper_bound(const key_type& key) const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
```cpp
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 pair<const_iterator, const_iterator> equal_range(const key_type& key) const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Description**
The return type is either `std::pair` (default) or `etl::pair` (ETL_NO_STL)
```cpp
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 bool contains(const key_type& k) const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Description**
Checks if the container contains the key.
---
**For comparators that define is_transparent.**
```cpp
template <typename K>
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 const_iterator find(const K& key) const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
```cpp
template <typename K>
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 const_iterator lower_bound(const K& key) const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
```cpp
template <typename K>
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 const_iterator upper_bound(const K& key) const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
```cpp
template <typename K>
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 pair<const_iterator, const_iterator> equal_range(const K& key) const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
```cpp
template <typename K>
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 bool contains(const K& k) const ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Description**
Checks if the container contains the key.
## Non-member functions
**Lexicographically comparisons**
| Operator | Description |
| -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `==` | `true` if the contents of the maps are equal, otherwise `false`. |
| `!=` | `true` if the contents of the maps are not equal, otherwise `false`. |
| `<` | `true` if the contents of the lhs is less-than the rhs, otherwise `false`. |
| `<=` | `true` if the contents of the lhs is less-than-equal the rhs, otherwise `false`. |
| `>` | `true` if the contents of the lhs is greater-than the rhs, otherwise `false`. |
| `>=` | `true` if the contents of the lhs is greater-than-equal the rhs, otherwise `false`. |
## Technical stuff
The const multimap is implemented as a sorted array key/value pairs.
