In which STL containers is the hash table implemented?

Answer from AI

In the standard template library (STL), hash tables are implemented in the following associative containers:

  • std::unordered_set
  • std::unordered_map
  • std::unordered_multiset
  • std::unordered_multimap

These containers use hashing for fast access to elements. On average, the search, insertion, and deletion operations have a time complexity of O(1). In the worst case (for example, in case of hash collisions), this complexity can reach O(n), where n is the number of elements.
