unordered map

When managing collections of data in C++, you often need a way to store key-value pairs efficiently.

Enter unordered_map, a powerful tool from the Standard Template Library (STL) that allows you to do just that. It provides average constant time complexity for insertions, deletions, and lookups, making it a go-to choice for many applications.

But what does that mean for you as a developer?

Understanding unordered_map can significantly enhance the efficiency of your code, especially when performance is critical. It’s like having a super-fast filing system where you can quickly find exactly what you need without sifting through everything. Let's dive into the details.
