    Question C++ Maps

    How would I implement a map with more than 1 key, for example, to retrieve a customer's name based on their address, using the house number as 1 key and the street name as another. (the 2 keys put together should be unique) ??

    thanks

    Use a struct to contain the data for the key:
    Code:
    typedef struct
    {
        unsigned int        uiHouseNumber;
        char                pcStreetName[255];
    } Address;
    
    typedef map<Address, string, less<Address>, allocator> Customer;
