/* STL pair data type containing int and float
*/ 

using namespace std;

typedef struct pair<int,float> PAIR_IF;

void main(void)

{
  PAIR_IF pair1=make_pair(18,3.14f);

  cout << pair1.first << "  " << pair1.second << endl;
  pair1.first=10;
  pair1.second=1.0f;
  cout << pair1.first << "  " << pair1.second << endl;
