MAP - ERASE() METHOD

The erase() Method can be used to remove an item from the Map.

Let us say, we want to remove the entry where the Key is Five and Value is Is a Number.

Five, Is a Number

Example :

#include <iostream>
#include <map>

using namespace std;

int main() {

    map<string, string> x = 
        {
	        { "Five", "Is a Number" }, 
	        { "John", "Is a Name" }, 
	        { "C++", "Is a Language"}
        };
        
    x.erase("Five");
        
    for (auto i : x)  
    {  
        cout << "The Key is : " << i.first << " and the Value is :"  << i.second << endl;  
    }
    
    return 0;    
}

Output :

The Key is : C++ and the Value is :Is a Language
The Key is : John and the Value is :Is a Name

So, in the above code we have created a Map using braces {} and Key and Value pairs.

map<string, string> x =
	{
		{ "Five", "Is a Number" },
		{ "John", "Is a Name" },
		{ "C++", "Is a Language"}
	};

And initialised to the variable x.

Now, we are supposed to delete the value of the Key, Five.

So, we have used the below way to update it.

x.Remove("Five");

And the entry for the Key Five is deleted for the Map.

And we get the below output,

Output :

The key is : John and the value is : Is a Name
The key is : C++ and the value is : Is a Language
