std::unordered_multiset::equal_range(3)

NAME
std::unordered_multiset::equal_range - std::unordered_multiset::equal_range

Synopsis
   std::pair<iterator,iterator> equal_range( const Key& key ); (1) (since C++11)
   std::pair<const_iterator,const_iterator> equal_range( const Key& (2) (since C++11)
   key ) const;
   template< class K > (3) (since C++20)
   std::pair<iterator,iterator> equal_range( const K& x );
   template< class K >
   std::pair<const_iterator,const_iterator> equal_range( const K& x ) (4) (since C++20)
   const;
   1,2) Returns a range containing all elements with key key in the container. The
   range is defined by two iterators, the first pointing to the first element of the
   wanted range and the second pointing past the last element of the range.
   3,4) Returns a range containing all elements in the container with key equivalent to
   x. This overload participates in overload resolution only if Hash::is_transparent
   and KeyEqual::is_transparent are valid and each denotes a type. This assumes that
   such Hash is callable with both K and Key type, and that the KeyEqual is
   transparent, which, together, allows calling this function without constructing an
   instance of Key.

Parameters
   key - key value to compare the elements to
   x - a value of any type that can be transparently compared with a key

Return value
   std::pair containing a pair of iterators defining the wanted range. If there are no
   such elements, past-the-end (see end()) iterators are returned as both elements of
   the pair.

Complexity
   Average case linear in the number of elements with the key key, worst case linear in
   the size of the container.

Notes
   Feature-test macro: __cpp_lib_generic_unordered_lookup (for overloads (3,4))

Example
   Estimates the characters frequency for given string. // Run this code
 #include <iostream>
 #include <iterator>
 #include <string>
 #include <unordered_set>
 int main()
 {
     std::string sentence{"cppreference.com"};
     std::cout << "The sentence: " << sentence << '\n';
     std::unordered_multiset<char> sequence;
     for (char x : sentence) { sequence.insert(x); }
     std::cout << "The sequence: { ";
     for (char x : sequence) { std::cout << x << ' '; }
     std::cout << "}\n" "Symbol:Frequency: ";
     for (auto it = sequence.begin(); it != sequence.end(); ) {
         if (auto [first, last] = sequence.equal_range(*it); first != last) {
             std::cout << *first << ":" << std::distance(first, last) << " ";
             it = last;
         } else {
             ++it;
         }
     }
 }

Possible output:
 The sentence: cppreference.com
 The sequence: { m o c c c p p r r e e e e f n . }
 Symbol:Frequency: m:1 o:1 c:3 p:2 r:2 e:4 f:1 n:1 .:1
