Hi All I've a doubt. when should we use a vector, when to use list and when we should go for map container in our programming? Thank you all.

It's easy to differentiate the use of the three containers you mentioned in your query. Just read the documentation for the containers in MSDN

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

I tried searching on google, but could not find a satisfactory answer. :)

If you need random access operation frequently in your code, use vector. If you need insert and delete operation frequently, use list. And map should be use when you want to identify a value by a key(mobbish).
