Could you let us know how to use stl:map as two dimension array? I wanted to access the individual elements as like mymap[i][j] where I do not know beforehand what the value
You can do
std::map > mymap;
For example:
#include #include int main() { std::map > mymap; mymap[9][2] = 7; std::cout << mymap[9][2] << std::endl; if (mymap.find(9) != mymap.end() && mymap[9].find(2) != mymap[9].end()) { std::cout << "My map contains a value for [9][2]" << std::endl; } else { std::cout << "My map does not contain a value for [9][2]" << std::endl; } return 0; }
prints 7 on the standard output, followed by "My map contains a value for [9][2]".
