Map in STL is used to hash key and value. We generally see map being used for standard data types. We can also use map for pairs.
For example consider a simple problem, given a matrix and positions visited, print which positions are not visited.
// C++ program to demonstrate use of map // for pairs #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; map<pair<int, int>, int> vis; // Print positions that are not marked // as visited void printPositions(int a[3][3]) { for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) if (vis[{ i, j }] == 0) cout << "(" << i << ", " << j << ")" << "\n"; } int main() { int mat[3][3] = { { 0, 1, 2 }, { 3, 4, 5 }, { 6, 7, 8 } }; // Marking some positions as visited vis[{ 0, 0 }] = 1; // visit (0, 0) vis[{ 1, 0 }] = 1; // visit (1, 0) vis[{ 1, 1 }] = 1; // visit (1, 1) vis[{ 2, 2 }] = 1; // visit (2, 2) // print which positions in matrix are not visited by rat printPositions(mat); return 0; } |
Output:
(0, 1) (0, 2) (1, 2) (2, 0) (2, 1)
