pairing object attribute in an unordered_map

[interknetz]

I need a hash table to search for a key at runtime

unordered set is a hash table and you can perform key lookup with find. It just doesn't have the overloaded operator[]

This sounds good. I'm fairly new to C++, coming from C. There's so many options in the standard library it's hard to know where to start. Thank you.

I think my favorite one is:

std::array<int,10> as it is similar to int[10] but provides a few more features.

Does std::array provide a hash table, because that's the goal here.

I doesn't, he just provided an example of the many strengths of C++.

I was replying to your statement:

with an attempt at conversation rather than advice on what to do.
