Associative Array/Dictionary in C++?

[Plazmotech]

Hello, Python experienced and new at C++ user here.

I've a function, and need to return usernames and their passwords (well, their hashes to be precise). Anyway, in Python I'd have something like this

x = {"A":"ASDF", "B":"DESU", "C":"BLAH"}

How do I make this Dictionary/Associative Array in C++? Thanks!

That's called std::map (or std::multimap if multiple keys are allowed, or std::unordered_map if you want a hash table, etc. You really should look at a reference or a textbook, I think)

std::map<std::string, std::string> x = {{"A", "ASDF"}, {"B", "DESU"}, {"C", "BLAH"}};

(for older compilers, same caveat as with vectors: either add them one by one, x["A"] = "ASDF"; etc, or build from an array of pairs)

Thanks again Cubbi!
