Summary of Map Types: Map Type Unique Keys Key Order Internal Structure Time Complexity (average) std::map Yes Sorted (ascending) Binary Search Tree O(log n) std::multimap No Sorted (ascending) Binary Search Tree O(log n) std::unordered_map Yes Unordered Hash Table O(1) std::unordered_multimap No Unordered Hash Table O(1) Choosing the Right Map: Use std::map when you need sorted and unique keys. Use std::multimap when you need sorted but non-unique keys. Use std::unordered_map when you need fast access and unique keys, but don’t care about the order. Use std::unordered_multimap when you need fast access with non-unique keys, and don’t care about the order.
