I know this is a simple question, so any help would be very much appreciated.

How do i insert a class into my map object along with a string as a key?

here is bit of my code.(Team is my class name)
///////////////////////////////////

Team myTeam();

map<string, Team> teams;

teams["teams"] = team;
/////////////////////////////

This returns a compile error.. how can i insert my class object into the map,
I tried using the pair<class T1, class T2> class, but my first argument is
a string not a class. therefore i can't use the insert() method from map.
thanx people

We can help you the most when you provide enough info to
understand your problem.

This could be the correct way to do it given a suitable
defintion of 'Team' and 'team'.  But you don't give either,
so it's hard to say what the problem is.

*What* compile error?

The term 'class' when used as a template argument is a bit
of a misnomer, since it can match any non-template type.

You can, but you need to provide more information before
anyone can show you how.

Declares a function named myTeam, which returns a Team object and takes not
arguments.

I suppose string is std::string.

Where is "team" coming from???  It is not defined anywhere.

Please post the *smallest* but still *complete* code which shows your
problem.  The above code snippets show way too little and already way too
many (possible) errors.
