Map Elements using for_each Algorithm in C++

This C++ program prints elements of map using for_each algorithm. The for_each function takes three parameters – iterator to the beginning of the container, the iterator to the end of the container and a function or function object of class X. A function object is a programming construct allowing an object to be invoked or called as if it were an ordinary function. The class X has an operator() which allows the for_each to execute the code inside it.

Here is the source code of the C++ program prints elements of map using for_each algorithm. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
