strange behavior of QMapIterator

[anda_skoa]

If you want an iterator that points to a respective entry instead of between entries, you can use STL-style ones.

QCPFinancialDataMap::const_iterator it = map.constBegin();
// it points to first entry
 
++it;
// it points to second entry
 
--it;
// it points to first entry

QCPFinancialDataMap::const_iterator it = map.constBegin();
// it points to first entry

++it;
// it points to second entry

--it;
// it points to first entry

thank you to both!

I was not aware that the the value() points to the item skipped over!
You are right guessing that I had iterated past 14 , jthomps. Your description matches exactly my situation.

Using a STL-like iterator is in that case more elegant.
I used the Java-style iterator because it is defined as typedef in the library (qcustomplot) I am using.
