typedef map <int, string> MAP_INT_STRING; MAP_INT_STRING mapIntToString; mapIntToString.insert (MAP_INT_STRING::value_type (3, “Three”)); I have only found examples where the values are inserted into the map through the source code. I would like to know how to allow a user do so as the program is running. I image this would involve some sort of for loop, but I am not certain how to set it up.
int main() { using namespace std; map<int, string> m; cout << "Enter a number and a word: "; int n; string s; if (!(cin >> n >> s)) { cout << "Input error.\n"; } else { m[n] = s; // Or: m.insert(make_pair(n, s)); } return 0; } now, speaking seriously. first you need to take values from users and then to insert them into your map. something like this:
std::map<int, std::string> m; while (true) { std::cout << "please give me an int\n"; int i; std::cin >> i; std::cout << "now gimme some string\n"; std::string s; std::cin >> s; m.insert(std::make_pair(i, s)); std::cout << "continue? (y/n)"; char c; std::cin >> c; if (c != 'y') break; }
