  Are there distinct different between the lower_bound and find ?   
  lower_bound will return some iterator "within" the map even if the element is not found - an iterator to the "largest" key which is still "smaller" than the one being searched for. find will return the .end() iterator if the key is not found.   ;Quote:Original post by Zahlmanlower_bound will return some iterator "within" the map even if the element is not found - an iterator to the "largest" key which is still "smaller" than the one being searched for. find will return the .end() iterator if the key is not found.The differents is very important?
