As far as I know there are two basics ways to check if an item is in the hash_map:
Let's say we have a hash_map: hash_map<string, int> amap
If we are gonna check whether "abc" is in the map then we can do
hash_map<string, int>::iterator itr = amap.find("abc");
if (itr != amap.end()) //in the map
or:
try {
int value = amap.at("abc");
}
catch(out_of_range& e) {
//not there
}
Just wanna know which one is better? for efficiency concern?
Use find()
. Testing the iterator is almost certainly going to be much cheaper than catching an exception.
