pair<T1, T2>


Category: utilities	Component type: type

Description

Pair<T1,T2> is a heterogeneous pair: it holds one object of type T1 and one of type T2. A pair is much like a Container, in that it "owns" its elements. It is not actually a model of Container, though, because it does not support the standard methods (such as iterators) for accessing the elements of a Container.

Functions that need to return two values often return a pair.

Example

pair<bool, double> result = do_a_calculation();
if (result.first)
  do_something_more(result.second);
else
  report_error();

Definition

Defined in the standard header utility, and in the nonstandard backward-compatibility header pair.h.

Template parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
`T1`	The type of the first element stored in the `pair`
`T2`	The type of the second element stored in the `pair`

Model of

Assignable

Type requirements

T1 and T2 must both be models of Assignable. Additional operations have additional requirements. Pair's default constructor may only be used if both T1 and T2 are DefaultConstructible, operator== may only be used if both T1 and T2 are EqualityComparable, and operator< may only be used if both T1 and T2 are LessThanComparable.

Public base classes

None.

`pair()`	`pair`	The default constructor. See below.
`pair(const first_type&, const second_type&)`	`pair`	The pair constructor. See below.
`pair(const pair&)`	Assignable	The copy constructor

New members

These members are not defined in the Assignable requirements, but are specific to pair.

Member	Description
`first_type`	The type of the pair's first component. This is a `typedef` for the template parameter `T1`
`second_type`	The type of the pair's second component. This is a `typedef` for the template parameter `T2`
`pair()`	The default constructor. It uses constructs objects of types `T1` and `T2` using their default constructors. This constructor may only be used if both `T1` and `T2` are DefaultConstructible.
`pair(const first_type& x, const second_type& y)`	The pair constructor. Constructs a pair such that `first` is constructed from `x` and `second` is constructed from `y`.
`first`	Public member variable of type `first_type`: the first object stored in the `pair`.
`second`	Public member variable of type `second_type`: The second object stored in the `pair`.
template <class T1, class T2> bool operator==(const pair<T1,T2>& x, const pair<T1,T2>& y);	The equality operator. The return value is `true` if and only the first elements of `x` and `y` are equal, and the second elements of `x` and `y` are equal. This operator may only be used if both `T1` and `T2` are EqualityComparable. This is a global function, not a member function.
template <class T1, class T2> bool operator<(const pair<T1,T2>& x, const pair<T1,T2>& y);	The comparison operator. It uses lexicographic comparison: the return value is `true` if the first element of `x` is less than the first element of `y`, and `false` if the first element of `y` is less than the first element of `x`. If neither of these is the case, then `operator<` returns the result of comparing the second elements of `x` and `y`. This operator may only be used if both `T1` and `T2` are LessThanComparable. This is a global function, not a member function.
template <class T1, class T2> pair<T1, T2> make_pair(const T1& x, const T2& x)	Equivalent to `pair<T1, T2>(x, y)`. This is a global function, not a member function. It exists only for the sake of convenience.
