    Newbie Maps Question

    Why does the top code work but the bottom one complains about << with the planets map. << planets.find(1)->second

    Code:
    map<char,int> mymap;

  mymap['a']=50;
  mymap['b']=100;
  mymap['c']=150;
  mymap['d']=200;

  // print content:
  cout << "elements in mymap:" << endl;
  cout << "c => " << mymap.find('c')->second << endl;
    Code:
    	map<int,string> planets;
	planets[1]="Mercury";
	planets[2]="Venus";
	planets[3]="Earth";
	planets[4]="Mars";
	planets[5]="Jupiter";
	planets[6]="Saturn";
	planets[7]="Uranus";
	planets[8]="Neptune";
	planets[9]="Pluto";
	
 cout << "p => " << planets.find(1)->second << endl;

    What is the 'complaint' you get exactly?

    Both of those compile and run fine for me.
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge

    What, well are you paying by the word to post or something?
    Anyhow it compiles and runs fine, did you include <map> and <iostream>, namespace std; maybe?

    Your forgot to #include<string> on your second example would be my guess.

    I hope they wanted it done in C++; because you are not writing C code when you use ">>" or "<<" for input/output.

    I would certainly hope so too, because the STL isn't C either.....

    On a side note, I would recommend using map::insert() for insertion instead of operator [] for std::maps.

    It would also be a good idea if find succeeds or not. It doesn't throw an exception if it fails, so if it fails, you will try to dereference an invalid iterator and get undefined behavior.
