Classes
map	collection of key-value pairs, sorted by keys, keys are unique (class template)
multimap	collection of key-value pairs, sorted by keys (class template)
Functions
operator==operator!=operator<operator<=operator>operator>=	lexicographically compares the values in the map (function template)
std::swap(std::map)	specializes the std::swap algorithm (function template)
operator==operator!=operator<operator<=operator>operator>=	lexicographically compares the values in the multimap (function template)
std::swap(std::multimap)	specializes the std::swap algorithm (function template)
