I see now.  The "map" terminology obscures things somewhat.  I prefer to see mention of "insert," "cont," and "push_back" near the beginning as the purpose of the operation is to insert elements into the container using push_back().

IOW, something more like the following would suit me better:

   Insert elements in cont, using push_front(), where the
   values are generated by calling f() n times with 1, 10,
   100, and 1000, in turn.

It might even be useful to expand that with the following:

   That is, call cont.push_front(f(1)) n times, then
   cont.push_front(f(10)) n times, and so on.
