Assignment Overview
In this assignment you will practice creating a custom data structure, BiMap, which extends the map
class, without using the potential STL bases (map and set). You will create a class to do this work. It is
due 11/19, Monday, before midnight on Mimir.
Background
You are going to create a container called a Bidirectional Map, BiMap will be used as the name of the
class. A BiMap is a kind of associative container that has both unique keys and unique values. That is,
you store values that have a key:value relationship like a map, but there is only one example of a key and
one example of a value. Thus the pairing, as well as both elements, are unique. You are going to build a
BiMap that stores string:string key:value pairs (no templating required), with underlying data structures
that are organized by key and value separately for efficient access. You cannot use either a STL map or a
set (or any other STL map/set classes) in the process of building this data structure, but you will use the
STL vector, string, and pair classes and you can use (and moreover, are encouraged to use) any
appropriate STL algorithms except sort algorithms. You cannot use any sort algorithm!
Details
We provide a header file, proj09_bimap.h, which provides details of type for all the required
methods and functions for the class BiMap. The basics are this. The BiMap class maintains two private
data member vector< pair< string, string > > ordered_by_keys_ and vector< pair > ordered_by_vals_. The pairs stored in each vector are the same,
but are ordered by the keys (the first element in the pair) and values (the second element in the pair),
respectively. We must constantly maintain the ordering on each vector for efficient data access and
manipulation. The order for both vectors is from smallest to largest as defined by the string STL type.
We describe the methods below.
• vector< pair >::iterator find_key(string key) This is a
private method only usable by other BiMap methods (not from a main program). Uses
lower_bound, returns an iterator to a pair that is either the first pair in the
vector that is equal to (by key) or greater than the key, or ordered_by_keys_.end() (the last
two meaning that the key isn’t in ordered_by_keys_). It must be private because
ordered_by_keys_ is private and we cannot return an iterator to a private data.
• vector< pair >::iterator find_value(string value)
This is a private method only usable by other BiMap methods (not from a main program). Uses
lower_bound, returns an iterator to a pair that is either the first pair in the
vector that is equal to (by value) or greater than the value, or ordered_by_vals_.end() (the
last two meaning that the key isn’t in ordered_by_vals_). It must be private because
ordered_by_vals_ is private and we cannot return an iterator to a private data.
To make lower_bound work, you are either going to have to write a function or a lambda that
compares a pair and a string. See lower_bound below.
These functions are not tested in the Mimir test set but necessary everywhere. However, it is
essentially the use of lower_bound. It is a good to isolate this usage however for future projects.
• BiMap(initializer_list< pair > ): Take each pair and place
in the vectors. The initializer_list does not have to be in sorted order but the vector should
be after you add all the elements. (Hint: write add first and use it here)
• size_t size() : returns the size of the BiMap (number of pairs) as an unsigned int
• string key_from_value(string value): member function. Return the key associated
with the value. If the value does not exist, then return the empty string.
• string value_from_key(string key): member function. Return the value associated with
the key. If the key does not exist, then return the empty string.
• bool update(string, string): if the first string as a key is in the BiMap, and the second
string as a value is not, update the key-value pair to the value of the second parameter. Return true. If
the key is not in BiMap, do nothing and return false.
• pair remove (string element): member function. Look for
element, as either a key or a value.
o If found, remove both the key and value from the BiMap and return that pair (that order).
o if the element does not exist as either a key or a value, return a pair of empty strings.
o if element exists as both a key and a value (possible, as unique-ness is guaranteed only
among keys or only among values, for example the BiMap could legally contain
“xx”:”yy” and “yy”:”xx”), remove both pairs, and return a pair with the key that was
associated with element, and the value that was associated with element.
• bool add(string,string): if the first string as a key or the second string as a value is in the
BiMap, do nothing and return false. Otherwise create a pair with the argument values and insert the
new pair into the vectors, in sorted order, and return true.
• bool compare(BiMap&) : compare the two BiMaps lexicographically, that is element by
element using the string-key of the pairs as comparison values. If you compare two pairs, then the
comparison is based on the .first of each pair (that is, the string-key of each pair). The first
difference that occurs determines the compare result. If the calling BiMap is greater, return 1. If the
argument BiMap is greater, return -1. If all of the comparable pairs are equal but one BiMap is
bigger (has more pairs), then the longer determines the return value (1 if the first is longer, -1 if the
second). If the two BiMaps are identical, return 0
• BiMap merge(BiMap&) : Merges the current BiMap with the BiMap being passed in, creating a
new BiMap with the values of both; if both BiMaps have overlapping keys or values, keep those
from the calling BiMap
• friend ostream& operator<<(ostream&, BiMap&). Returns the ostream after writing the BiMap to the ostream. The formatting should have each pair colon (‘:’) separated, and each pair comma + space separated (‘, ‘), with no trailing comma. o E.g., Ann:ABCD, Bob:EFGH, Charlie:IJKL Requirements We provide proj09_bimap.h, you submit to Mimir proj09_bimap.cpp We will test your files using Mimir, as always.

Assignment Notes Look at example lower_bound.cpp in the directory lower_bound Your new favorite algorithm should be lower_bound. Look it up. It returns an iterator to the first element in a container that is "not less than" (that is, greater than or equal to) the provided search value. It requires that the container elements be in sorted order, and if so does a fast search (a binary search) to find the search value. It has the following form: lower_bound(container.begin(), container.end(), value_to_search_for) or lower_bound(container.begin(), container.end(), value_to_search_for, binary_predicate) where the binary_predicate takes 2 arguments: the first an element of the container and the second the value_to_search_for. It returns true if the element of the container is less than value_to_search_for. The return value is an iterator to the either the element in the container that meets the criteria, or the value of the last element in the range searched (in this case, container.end() ) That means that either: • the value_to_search_for is already in the container and the iterator points to it. • value_to_search_for is not in the container. Not in the container means: o the iterator points to a value "just greater" than the value_to_search_for o the iterator points to container.end() vector insert Very conveniently, you can do an insert on a vector. You must provide an iterator and a value to insert. The insert method places the new value in front of the iterator. In collaboration with lower_bound, you can place an element in a vector at the location you wish, maintaining sorted order at every insert. add The critical method is add. Get that right first and then much of the rest is easy. For example, the initializer list constructor can then use add to put elements into the vector at the correct location (in sorted order). sort No use of sort allowed. If you use sort in a test case you will get 0 for that test case. Do a combination of lower_bound and vector insert to get an element where it needs to be in a vector. Empty strings Since empty strings are used to indicate values not found, none of the valid keys or values stored in the BiMap will be empty
