This is the translator example from the tutorial. In this example the collection type of relation is changed to allow the iteration of the container.

Go to source code

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <boost/bimap/bimap.hpp>
#include <boost/bimap/list_of.hpp>
#include <boost/bimap/unordered_set_of.hpp>

struct english {};
struct spanish {};

int main()
{
    using namespace boost::bimaps;

    typedef bimap
    <
        unordered_set_of< tagged< std::string, spanish > >,
        unordered_set_of< tagged< std::string, english > >,
        list_of_relation

    > translator;

    translator trans;

    // We have to use `push_back` because the collection of relations is
    // a `list_of_relation`

    trans.push_back( translator::value_type("hola"  ,"hello"   ) );
    trans.push_back( translator::value_type("adios" ,"goodbye" ) );
    trans.push_back( translator::value_type("rosa"  ,"rose"    ) );
    trans.push_back( translator::value_type("mesa"  ,"table"   ) );

    std::cout << "enter a word" << std::endl;
    std::string word;
    std::getline(std::cin,word);

    // Search the queried word on the from index (Spanish)

    translator::map_by<spanish>::const_iterator is
        = trans.by<spanish>().find(word);

    if( is != trans.by<spanish>().end() )
    {
        std::cout << word << " is said "
                  << is->get<english>()
                  << " in English" << std::endl;
    }
    else
    {
        // Word not found in Spanish, try our luck in English

        translator::map_by<english>::const_iterator ie
            = trans.by<english>().find(word);

        if( ie != trans.by<english>().end() )
        {

                      << ie->get<spanish>()

        else
        {
            // Word not found, show the possible translations

            std::cout << "No such word in the dictionary"      << std::endl;
            std::cout << "These are the possible translations" << std::endl;

            for( translator::const_iterator
                    i = trans.begin(),
                    i_end = trans.end();

                    i != i_end ; ++i )
            {
                std::cout << i->get<spanish>()
                          << " <---> "
                          << i->get<english>()
                          << std::endl;
