=====insert===== Syntax: #include iterator insert( iterator pos, const TYPE& val ); iterator insert( const TYPE& val ); void insert( input_iterator start, input_iterator end ); The function insert() either: * inserts val after the element at pos (where pos is really just a suggestion as to where val should go, since multisets and multimaps are ordered), and returns an iterator to that element. * inserts val into the multiset, returning an iterator to the element inserted. * inserts a range of elements from start to end. For example, the following code uses insert() to add elements to a multiset: multiset ms; multiset::iterator iter; int i; for (i = 1; i < 5; i++) { ms.insert(i); ms.insert(i*i); ms.insert(i-1); } cout << "ms is:" ; for (iter = ms.begin(); iter != ms.end(); iter++) cout << " " << *iter; cout << "." << endl; The above code produces the following output: ms is: 0 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 9 16.
