I want a class Table which saves one list of Pair<int,std::string>.
And I want that it has following behaviour:

Table t;//now t is empty
try{

a

exception [case 1]
}
catch(...){
   std::cout << "It's a empty table,bad operator" << std::endl;
    t["me"] = 0;//and i hope this call can work well [case 2]
}


First, a clarification about the specs: what about

 int i = t["here"];

where t is not empty but no entry for "here" is to be found?

Could some one tell me how to define this class Table?
How to define operator for case 1 and case 2?

class Table
{
public:
    class Bad_op{};
    struct Pair
    {
        int data;
        std::string str;
    };
    Table(const Table& table);
    Table();
    ~Table();
    Table& operator= (const Table& table);
    //int& operator[](const std::string& str);???????
    //nst int& operator[](const std::string& str)const;???????
private:
    std::vector<Pair> m_Vec;
};


Why a vector of pairs? It seems that all you need is a thin wrapper aroun=

d

std::map< std::string, int >.

Best

Yes , When i say "empty" , i mean the table has a emplty list.
It's just a exercise. Not realistic class.
