// An `absl::flat_hash_map<K, V>` is an unordered associative container of
// unique keys and associated values designed to be a more efficient replacement
// for `std::unordered_map`. Like `unordered_map`, search, insertion, and
// deletion of map elements can be done as an `O(1)` operation. However,
// `flat_hash_map` (and other unordered associative containers known as the
// collection of Abseil "Swiss tables") contain other optimizations that result
// in both memory and computation advantages.
//
// In most cases, your default choice for a hash map should be a map of type
// `flat_hash_map`.

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// An `absl::flat_hash_map<K, V>` is an unordered associative container which
// has been optimized for both speed and memory footprint in most common use
// cases. Its interface is similar to that of `std::unordered_map<K, V>` with
// the following notable differences:
//
// * Requires keys that are CopyConstructible
// * Requires values that are MoveConstructible
// * Supports heterogeneous lookup, through `find()`, `operator[]()` and
//   `insert()`, provided that the map is provided a compatible heterogeneous
//   hashing function and equality operator.
// * Invalidates any references and pointers to elements within the table after
//   `rehash()`.
// * Contains a `capacity()` member function indicating the number of element
//   slots (open, deleted, and empty) within the hash map.
// * Returns `void` from the `erase(iterator)` overload.
//
// By default, `flat_hash_map` uses the `absl::Hash` hashing framework.
// All fundamental and Abseil types that support the `absl::Hash` framework have
// a compatible equality operator for comparing insertions into `flat_hash_map`.
// If your type is not yet supported by the `absl::Hash` framework, see
// absl/hash/hash.h for information on extending Abseil hashing to user-defined
// types.
//
// NOTE: A `flat_hash_map` stores its value types directly inside its
// implementation array to avoid memory indirection. Because a `flat_hash_map`
// is designed to move data when rehashed, map values will not retain pointer
// stability. If you require pointer stability, or your values are large,
// consider using `absl::flat_hash_map<Key, std::unique_ptr<Value>>` instead.
// If your types are not moveable or you require pointer stability for keys,
// consider `absl::node_hash_map`.
//
// Example:
//
//   // Create a flat hash map of three strings (that map to strings)
//   absl::flat_hash_map<std::string, std::string> ducks =
//     {{"a", "huey"}, {"b", "dewey"}, {"c", "louie"}};
//
//  // Insert a new element into the flat hash map
//  ducks.insert({"d", "donald"});
//
//  // Force a rehash of the flat hash map
//  ducks.rehash(0);
//
//  // Find the element with the key "b"
//  std::string search_key = "b";
//  auto result = ducks.find(search_key);
//  if (result != ducks.end()) {
//    std::cout << "Result: " << result->second << std::endl;
//  }
