pair

template<class T, class U>
    struct pair {
    typedef T first_type;
    typedef U second_type
    T first;
    U second;
    pair();
    pair(const T& x, const U& y);
    template<class V, class W>
        pair(const pair<V, W>& pr);
    };

The template class stores a pair of objects, first, of type T, and second, of type U. The type definition first_type is the same as the template parameter T, while second_type is the same as the template parameter U.

The first (default) constructor initializes first to T() and second to U(). The second constructor initializes first to x and second to y. The third (template) constructor initializes first to pr.first and second to pr.second. T and U each need supply only a single-argument constructor and a destructor.
