Erasing element from multilevel unordered_map?

I have the following code where I wanted to eliminate the element I created initialy with the value 10. I'm having trouble setting up an iterator and erasing it. How is it done?

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/unordered_map.hpp>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    typedef boost::unordered_map<int, boost::unordered_map<int, boost::unordered_map<int, int> > >::const map_it;
    typedef boost::unordered_map<int, boost::unordered_map<int, boost::unordered_map<int, int> > > _map;
    _map _3d;

    _3d[0][0][0] = 10;

    cout<<_3d[0][0][0]<<endl;

    map_it = _3d[0][0][0].begin();

    _3d[0][0][0].erase(map_it);

    return 0;
}

You have one too many [0]:

_3d[0][0][0].begin(); 
// should be:
_3d[0][0].begin();

Further, map_it is a type, not a variable; you need to declare a variable of type map_it and assign to or initialize that variable.

The type of _3d[0][0].begin() is simply boost::unordered_map<int, int>::iterator (or const_iterator); the type of _3d.begin() would be the nested iterator type that you seem to be trying to use.

A few additional typedefs would make this code very much straightforwarder.
