A class project for my C++ Data Structures class.

Objective: read data from a file into STL data structures and perform several operations with the structures.

Observations: STL makes things easy! In fact, it was usually more intuitive to use than i thought it would be, so i spent a longer time than necessary trying to do it the harder way, only to discover there was an easier way. I wish I would have had better documentation. Some things weren’t clear, like I couldn’t tell if some of the STL functions searched for map keys or values. But I got it working perfectly (at least for the requirements of the project -  I wouldn’t call it finished if it was for public use, as it wasn’t exactly “feature rich”).
