在 std::map 和 std::unordered_map 之间进行选择

2021-12-10 00:00:00 hash c++ c++11 map unordered-map

既然 stdunordered_map 中有一个真正的哈希映射,为什么(或何时)我还想使用旧的 mapunordered_map 在它实际存在的系统上?是否有任何我无法立即看到的明显情况?

Now that std has a real hash map in unordered_map, why (or when) would I still want to use the good old map over unordered_map on systems where it actually exists? Are there any obvious situations that I cannot immediately see?

推荐答案

As 已经提到,map 允许以排序的方式迭代元素,但unordered_map 不允许.这在许多情况下非常重要,例如显示集合(例如地址簿).这也体现在其他间接方式上,例如:(1) 从 find() 返回的迭代器开始迭代,或 (2) 存在像 lower_bound() 这样的成员函数.

As already mentioned, map allows to iterate over the elements in a sorted way, but unordered_map does not. This is very important in many situations, for example displaying a collection (e.g. address book). This also manifests in other indirect ways like: (1) Start iterating from the iterator returned by find(), or (2) existence of member functions like lower_bound().

此外,我认为在最坏情况 搜索复杂性方面存在一些差异.

Also, I think there is some difference in the worst case search complexity.

  • 对于map,是O(lg N)

对于unordered_map,它是O( N ) [当哈希函数不好导致太多哈希冲突时,可能发生这种情况.]

For unordered_map, it is O( N ) [This may happen when the hash function is not good leading to too many hash collisions.]

同样适用于最坏情况 删除复杂性.
