How do I merge and splice sequences with std::map?

Merging and splicing sequences with std::map can be a useful technique in C++. A std::map is an associative container that contains key-value pairs, allowing for efficient retrieval and management of data. By merging and splicing maps, you can efficiently combine data from different maps or move elements between them. Here’s an example to demonstrate how to merge and splice sequences using std::map in C++.

#include <iostream> #include <map> int main() { // First map std::map<int, std::string> map1 = { {1, "Apple"}, {2, "Banana"}, {3, "Cherry"} }; // Second map std::map<int, std::string> map2 = { {4, "Date"}, {5, "Elderberry"}, {6, "Fig"} }; // Merging map2 into map1 map1.insert(map2.begin(), map2.end()); std::cout << "Merged Map:" << std::endl; for (const auto &pair : map1) { std::cout << pair.first << ": " << pair.second << std::endl; } // Splicing elements (moving) from map1 to map2 map2.insert(map1.extract(1)); // Move key 1 from map1 to map2 map1.erase(1); // Erase the element in map1 std::cout << "After Splicing:" << std::endl; std::cout << "Map1:" << std::endl; for (const auto &pair : map1) { std::cout << pair.first << ": " << pair.second << std::endl; } std::cout << "Map2:" << std::endl; for (const auto &pair : map2) { std::cout << pair.first << ": " << pair.second << std::endl; } return 0; }
