Check if a key is present in a C++ map or unordered_map

A C++ map and unordered_map are initialized to some keys and their respective mapped values.
Examples:

Input : 
Map : 1 -> 4, 2 -> 6, 4 -> 6
Check1 : 5, Check2 : 4
Output : 5 : Not present, 4 : Present

C++ implementation :

map

// CPP code to check if a 
// key is present in a map 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// Function to check if the key is present or not 
string check_key(map<int, int> m, int key) 
{ 
    // Key is not present 
    if (m.find(key) == m.end()) 
        return "Not Present"; 
  
    return "Present"; 
} 
  
// Driver 
int main() 
{ 
    map<int, int> m; 
  
    // Initializing keys and mapped values 
    m[1] = 4; 
    m[2] = 6; 
    m[4] = 6; 
  
    // Keys to be checked 
    int check1 = 5, check2 = 4; 
  
    // Function call 
    cout << check1 << ": " << check_key(m, check1) << '\n'; 
    cout << check2 << ": " << check_key(m, check2); 
} 

unordered_map

// CPP code to check if a key is present  
// in an unordered_map 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// Function to check if the key is present or not 
string check_key(unordered_map<int, int> m, int key) 
{ 
    // Key is not present 
    if (m.find(key) == m.end()) 
        return "Not Present"; 
  
    return "Present"; 
} 
  
// Driver 
int main() 
{ 
    unordered_map<int, int> m; 
  
    // Initialising keys and mapped values 
    m[1] = 4; 
    m[2] = 6; 
    m[4] = 6; 
  
    // Keys to be checked 
    int check1 = 5, check2 = 4; 
  
    // Function call 
    cout << check1 << ": " << check_key(m, check1) << '\n'; 
    cout << check2 << ": " << check_key(m, check2); 
} 

Output:

5: Not Present
4: Present
