iterator lower_bound( const Key& key );	(1)
const_iterator lower_bound( const Key& key ) const;	(2)
template< class K > iterator lower_bound( const K& x );	(3)	(since C++14)
template< class K > const_iterator lower_bound( const K& x ) const;	(4)	(since C++14)

1,2) Returns an iterator pointing to the first element that is not less than (i.e. greater or equal to) key.

3,4) Returns an iterator pointing to the first element that compares not less (i.e. greater or equal) to the value x. This overload participates in overload resolution only if the qualified-id Compare::is_transparent is valid and denotes a type. It allows calling this function without constructing an instance of Key.

Parameters

key	-	key value to compare the elements to
x	-	alternative value that can be compared to Key

Return value

Iterator pointing to the first element that is not less than key. If no such element is found, a past-the-end iterator (see end()) is returned.

Complexity

Logarithmic in the size of the container.

Notes

Feature-test macro	Comment
__cpp_lib_generic_associative_lookup	for overloads (3,4)

equal_range	returns range of elements matching a specific key (public member function)
upper_bound	returns an iterator to the first element greater than the given key (public member function)
