STL map class c++ code example

Example 1: map declaration c++

//assuming your variables are called : variables_
#include <map>
#include <string>

std::map<int, std::string> map_;
map_[1] = "mercury";
map_[2] = "mars";
map_.insert(std::make_pair(3, "earth"));
//either synthax works to declare a new entry

return map_[2]; //here, map_[2] will return "mars"

Example 2: map in cpp

#include <map>

int main(){
  //new map
  std::map <int,int> myMap;
  myMap[0] = 1;
  myMap[1] = 2;
  myMap[2] = 3;
  myMap[3] = 4;
}
