class definition

[salmon2000]

Hi
I am a beginner to c++, I wondered how I can define a class similar to
the c++ standard map class but allow for different type of values to
be stored in the same map?

Thanks!

With many years of learning or by using the boost::any type. See
http://www.boost.org

Are these types related? If they are, you are best off using a base
class (interface) and different derived implementations. e.g.

std::map<int, base*> mymap;

If the values are completely unrelated types (why are they in the same
map then?), then you can use boost::any as already mentioned.
