Removes specified elements from the container.
1) Removes the element at 
pos.2) Removes the elements in the range 
[first; last).3) Removes all elements with the key value 
key.References and iterators to the erased elements are invalidated. Other references and iterators are not affected.

[edit] Parameters
| pos | - | iterator to the element to remove | 
| first, last | - | range of elements to remove | 
| key | - | key value of the elements to remove | 
[edit] Return value
1-2) Iterator following the last removed element.
3) Number of elements removed.
[edit] Exceptions
1,2) (none)
3) Any exceptions thrown by the 
Compare object.[edit] Notes
The iterator pos must be valid and dereferenceable. Thus the end() iterator (which is valid, but is not dereferencable) cannot be used as a value for pos.
[edit] Complexity
Given an instance c of map:
1) Amortized constant
2) log(c.size()) + std::distance(first, last)
3) log(c.size()) + c.count(k)
