    mp.insert({ 2, 30 });
    mp.insert({ 1, 40 });
    mp.insert({ 2, 60 });
    mp.insert({ 2, 20 });
    mp.insert({ 1, 50 });
    mp.insert({ 4, 50 });

    // count the number of times
    // 1 is there in the multimap
    cout << "1 exists " << mp.count(1) 
         << " times in the multimap\n";

    // count the number of times
    // 2 is there in the multimap
    cout << "2 exists " << mp.count(2) 
         << " times in the multimap\n";
