When using std::array I can assign values at one time:
std::array<int, 3> a2 = {1, 2, 3};
But I don't know the best way to do it when the above array is combined into a map:
using namespace std;
map <string, array<int, 3>> myMap;
//I'm doing it like below now...
array<int, 3> tempArray = {1,2,3}; // can I save this line somehow?
myMap[myString] = tempArray;
Please also let me know if this is actually the right way. Thanks!
While using insert as shown in the other answer is more efficient, you can also use
myMap["foo"] = {{1,2,3}};
if concise code is more important to you.
You can save a line (though not many characters) like this:
myMap.insert(std::make_pair(myString,array<int,3>{{1,2,3}}));
BTW, according to GCC 4.7.2 you are missing a pair of braces around the initializer for tempArray
However this will not modify the mapped value for myString if it happens already to exist.
And if and when you have a library that has std::map::emplace you can save more characters.
