How can I build a lookup table in C++?
<p>I am a complete novice in C++. I am trying to read a file and build a lookup table (more like a hashtable just to check the existence of a string value). The file has about 300 thousand entries that I will use to build a lookup table. And after this, I will be performing some 1 million lookups on this. What is the most efficient way of doing this? Is it the map (google's first result) or is there a better structure for this purpose?</p>
