Is there any problem in using of map as declared below?

map<int, map<int, float>> test;

Yes, the syntax is wrong as the '>>' is interpreted as shift operator - use
'> >' instead. Further, you need the std:: of course and the header <map>.

There is a problem: The missing space between the two trailing
> characters (which is otherwise interpreted as >>). So correct
way is

map<int, map<int, float> > test;

You have a problem in the above line. You will need to change it to:
  map<int, map<int, float> > test;

Note the space between the two "<" characters. The line will not compile
without this space.

Yes... you need a space between the first and second '>' to avoid
mistaken lexical parsing as a streaming or bit-shift operator >>.  More
generally, no: nest thy containers to thy heart's content.

Yes, until C++0x, you will need to put an extra space between the
closing template brackets (so that the compiler don't confuse them with
a right shift operator):

map<int, map<int, float> > test;

Yes, you need a space between the two ">" or else they'll be a
shift operator for the compiler. So, it should be:

        map<int, map<int, float> > test;

which is not a problem at all.

yes, you have to write

using namespace std;

map<int, map<int, float> > test;

1- you have to leave a space between the '>' characters or the compiler
interprets them for operator>>

2- the items of a collection has to implement copy constructor for being
copied in the collection, I don't know if std::map<typename K, typename
V> implements it.

The only problem is due to the adjacent '>' signs that confuse the
compiler. Just write it

map<int, map<int, float> > test;

And everything should be all right.

    Yes, this works to any depth I've cared to try.  A better way to declare
it is to use typedefs, such as:

#include <map>

class DatabaseItem
{
private:

    /* Internal representation goes here, probably polymorphic. */

public:


};

/* This map is keyed by database column name. */
typedef map < string, DatabaseItem > ColumnData;

/* This map is keyed by database table row number. */
typedef map < int, ColumnData > RowData;

/* This map is keyed by database table name. */
typedef map < string, RowData > TableData;

try to insert a space between two "greater than" signs (>).

map<int, map<int, float> > test;

std::map<int, std::map<int, float> > test;

There is a difference in '>>' and '> >' when used in that line. You must put
a space between them.

You can have map within maps (and other levels of complex
data-structures) but in your example above, make sure there is a
whitespace between the two closing template brackets to prevent the
compiler from confusing it with the '>>' operator:

// Note the whitespace between the closing brackets
map<int, map<int, float> > test;

map<int, float> val1, val2;

val1[0] = 1.1;
val1[1] = 1.2;

val2[0] = 2.1;
val2[1] = 2.2;

test[0] = val1;
test[1] = val2;

Using a typedef for value type might make it more readable:

typedef map<int, float> SomeValue_t;

map<int, SomeValue_t> test;

SomeValue_t val1, val2;
test.insert( pair<int, SomeValue_t>(0,  val1) ); // test[0] = val1
test.insert( pair<int, SomeValue_t>(1,  val2) ); // test[1] = val2

Using map<...>::insert() here will be more efficient than operator [].

Yes.

There is a syntax error. >> is parsed as one token by a C++
compiler. Once you change this definition to

map<int, map<int, float> > test;

, you should be fine.

      [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.    First time posters: Do this! ]

do not forget space between two '>' :
      map<int, map<int, float> > test;

Interesting question, actually. I have the similar question:
Is there any problem in using of int as declared below? 
int i =0;

:)

There is no problem with using a map within a map.  It is sometimes useful 
you have to combine multiple keys to access an item. One correction to the 
way you have written the declaration; make sure you separate multiple '>' 
characters with whitespace as in:

map<int, map<int, float> > test;

Also, it is useful to use typedefs with complex types:

typedef map<int, float> InnerMap;
typedef map<int, InnerMap> OuterMap;
OuterMap test;

Then later you can use iterators like:

for(OuterMap::iterator outer=test.begin(), endOuter=test.end(); 
outer!=endOuter; ++outer) {
  for(InnerMap::iterator inner=(*outer).begin(), endInner=(*outer).end(); 
inner!=endInner; ++inner) {
    // do something with inner
  }
}

yes, use:

map<int, map<int, float> > test;

Yes, you need to insert a blank:

  map<int, map<int, float> > test;

Other than that, it should work just fine.
