Std Map .. Help

ash
Hi,

I'm getting started with STL, and am stuck at creating a map
container. I checked one of the texts and found a code in there. To
make it simple, i wrote the following:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <map>

typedef std::map<string,string,std::less<string>> mymap;

int main()
{
mymap somemap;
return 0;
}
This gives me 6 error messages, an a warning. Could anyone point me
the mistake....i've been to grasp the topic for two days now!

Initially i thought i might not be using string properly, so i changed
the code typedef to

typedef std::map<int,int, std::less<int>> mymap;

This give me an error saying :
C:\Documents and Settings\Ash\Desktop\Maps\MuliMap\Main.cpp(4) : error
C2146: syntax error : missing ',' before identifier 'mymap'
C:\Documents and Settings\Ash\Desktop\Maps\MuliMap\Main.cpp(4) : :
error C2065: 'mymap' : undeclared identifier
C:\Documents and Settings\Ash\Desktop\Maps\MuliMap\Main.cpp(4) : error
C2143: syntax error : missing '>' before ';'
C:\Documents and C:\Documents and
Settings\Ash\Desktop\Maps\MuliMap\Main.cpp(4) : warning C4091:
'typedef ' : ignored on left of 'class std::map' when no variable is
declared
Thanks,

Ash

Hi,

I'm getting started with STL, and am stuck at creating a map
container. I checked one of the texts and found a code in there. To
make it simple, i wrote the following:

#include <iostream.h>
Non-standard header file, use <iostream> (without a .h)
#include <string.h>
This is a valid header file, but it doesn't declare the std::string class
which is what you are thinking it does, instead it declares the C string
handling routines. Use <string> instead (again without a .h)
#include <map>

typedef std::map<string,string,std::less<string>> mymap;
std::less is unecessary, but string is wrong, it should be std::string. Try
this

typedef std::map<std::string,std::string> mymap;

int main()
{
mymap somemap;
return 0;
}
This gives me 6 error messages, an a warning. Could anyone point me
the mistake....i've been to grasp the topic for two days now!


Don't know what book you are reading, doesn't it have any syntactically
valid programs in it?

You need to use the correct header files (no C++ header files have .h in
them)
You need to remember std::
You should forget about std::less (at least for now).

[<string.h> is a C header that contains the prototypes for things like
strcmp(), strcpy(), and the like -- *not* C++ std::string]
#include <map>

typedef std::map<string,string,std::less<string>> mymap; typedef std::map<std::string,
std::string,
std::less<std::string> > mymap;

[the space between the enclosing `>'s is necessary]
int main()
{
mymap somemap;
return 0;
