C++ newbie trying to cope with STL Maps 2

[billbose]

I am trying to use STL map like 'hash of arrays' in Perl.

For eg in Perl hash of array,

%HoA = (
flintstones => [ "fred", "barney" ],
jetsons => [ "george", "jane", "elroy" ],
simpsons => [ "homer", "marge", "bart" ],
);


print $HoA{flintstones}[0] ; # will give fred as output

Is it possible to do a similar thing in STL Map.

You can do something like this:

map<string, vector<string> > mapOfArrays;
vector<string> array1;
array1.push_back( "One" );
array1.push_back( "Two" );
array1.push_back( "Three" );
map[ "numbers" ] = mapOfArrays;
...

There's some typos in your code, cpjust, but an even better solution would be:

map<string, vector<string> > mapOfArrays;
mapOfArrays[ "numbers" ].push_back( "One" );
mapOfArrays[ "numbers" ].push_back( "Two" );
mapOfArrays[ "numbers" ].push_back( "Three" );

Thanks uolj for the solution.

Your welcome, but you should thank cpjust. I just tweaked his solution.

Thank you cpjust for the solution .

No problem.
Maybe it's just dyslexia from lack of sleep, but I can't see any typos...?

 

[uolj]

map[ "numbers" ] = mapOfArrays;

was probably supposed to be

mapOfArrays[ "numbers" ] = array1;

Ah, now I see... This z/OS training is rotting my brain cells.
