## Description

A multiset is a kind of associative container that supports equivalent keys (possibly contains multiple copies of the same key value) and provides for fast retrieval of the keys themselves. Class multiset supports bidirectional iterators.

A multiset satisfies all of the requirements of a container and of a reversible container, and of an associative container). multiset also provides most operations described for duplicate keys.

### `multiset` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     explicit multiset(const Pred & comp = Pred(),
                         const allocator_type & a = allocator_type());

   Effects: Constructs an empty multiset using the specified comparison object and allocator.

   Complexity: Constant.

2.     template<typename InputIterator>
         multiset(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,
                  const Pred & comp = Pred(),
                  const allocator_type & a = allocator_type());

   Effects: Constructs an empty multiset using the specified comparison object and allocator, and inserts elements from the range [first ,last ).

   Complexity: Linear in N if the range [first ,last ) is already sorted using comp and otherwise N logN, where N is last - first.

3.     template<typename InputIterator>
         multiset(ordered_range_t ordered_range, InputIterator first,
                  InputIterator last, const Pred & comp = Pred(),
                  const allocator_type & a = allocator_type());

   Effects: Constructs an empty multiset using the specified comparison object and allocator, and inserts elements from the ordered range [first ,last ). This function is more efficient than the normal range creation for ordered ranges.

   Complexity: Linear in N.
