    mapping in C++

    how do i map two numbers in C++ ?

    i mean :

    gcd[23,32]=1
    gcd[100,100]=100

    how do i do this ???

    note: i cannot use a two dimensional array since i need to store values upto 10000 & i cannot create such a huge array(gcd[10000][10000])
    i.e., gcd[10000,10000]=10000;

    any suggestions ??

    Not sure, but would
    Code:
    std::map<std::pair<int, int> > gcd;
    do the work.

    Another option would be to use math:
    gcd[x * 10000 + y] - that will make a unique number in the 0..100000000 range, which can be used with map. It is possibly faster and easier than using a pair. But if the range grows much more than 10000, you'd struggle.

    x,y ??

    gcd[x * 10000 + y]

    if x=10000 & y=10000 then array size would become too large ?

    isn't it ?

    No, not a regular large array, I meant to still use map, like this:
    Code:
    std::map<int> gcd;
    
    gcd[300 *10000 + 432] = ...
