std::unordered_map::erase(3)  C++ Standard Libary std::unordered_map::erase(3)

NAME
       std::unordered_map::erase - std::unordered_map::erase

Synopsis
	  iterator  erase(  iterator  pos  );				   (1)
       (since C++11)
	  iterator erase(  const_iterator  pos	);			   (2)
       (since C++11)
	  iterator  erase(  const_iterator  first,  const_iterator last	); (3)
       (since C++11)
	  size_type erase( const  Key&	key  );				   (4)
       (since C++11)
	  template<  class  K  >					   (5)
       (since C++23)
	  size_type erase( K&& x );

	  Removes specified elements from the container. The order of the  re-
       maining elements
	  is  preserved.  (This	makes it possible to erase individual elements
       while iterating
	  through the container.)

	  1,2) Removes the element at pos.
	  3) Removes the elements in the range [first, last), which must be  a
       valid range in
	  *this.
	  4)  Removes  the  element (if	one exists) with the key equivalent to
       key.
	  5) Removes all elements with key that	 compares  equivalent  to  the
       value x.	This
	  overload participates	in overload resolution only if Hash::is_trans-
       parent and
	  KeyEqual::is_transparent are valid and each denotes a	type, and nei-
       ther iterator nor
	  const_iterator  is  implicitly convertible from K. This assumes that
       such Hash is
	  callable with	both K and Key type, and that the KeyEqual  is	trans-
       parent, which,
	  together,  allows  calling this function without constructing	an in-
       stance of Key.

	  References and iterators to the  erased  elements  are  invalidated.
       Other iterators and
	  references are not invalidated.

	  The  iterator	 pos must be valid and dereferenceable.	Thus the end()
       iterator	(which
	  is valid, but	is not dereferenceable)	cannot be used as a value  for
       pos.

Parameters
	  pos	      -	iterator to the	element	to remove
	  first, last -	range of elements to remove
	  key	      -	key value of the elements to remove
	  x	      -	a value	of any type that can be	transparently compared
       with a key
			denoting the elements to remove

Return value
	  1-3) Iterator	following the last removed element.
	  4) Number of elements	removed	(0 or 1).
	  5) Number of elements	removed.

Exceptions
	  1-3) Throws nothing.
	  4,5) Any exceptions thrown by	the Hash and KeyEqual object.

Complexity
	  Given	an instance c of unordered_map:

	  1,2) Average case: constant, worst case: c.size().
	  3) Average case: std::distance(first,	last), worst case: c.size().
	  4) Average case: c.count(key), worst case: c.size().
	  5) Average case: c.count(x), worst case: c.size().

Example
       // Run this code

	#include <unordered_map>
	#include <iostream>

	int main()
	{
	    std::unordered_map<int, std::string> c =
	    {
		{1, "one"}, {2,	"two"},	{3, "three"},
		{4, "four"}, {5, "five"}, {6, "six"}
	    };

	    // erase all odd numbers from c
	    for	(auto it = c.begin(); it != c.end();)
	    {
		if (it->first %	2 != 0)
		    it = c.erase(it);
		else
		    ++it;
	    }

	    for	(auto& p : c)
		std::cout << p.second << ' ';
	    std::cout << '\n';
	}

Possible output:
	two four six
