Hash Map
1. Introduction
You will implement a C++ program to perform the basic functionality of a map. Feel free
to use any structure you learned in class or in the standard library to implement the
program. Please name the folder on the server as “lab5”.
2. Input File
– You will be given a series of strings in the form of sentence(s).
– There can be empty files.
3. Output File
– Print the frequency associated with each string in alphabetical order.

Terrance knew that sometimes it was simply best to stay out of it.
“It’s none of my business!”
He kept repeating this to himself as he watched the scene unfold.
He knew that nothing good would come of him getting involved.
It was far better for him to stay on the sidelines and observe.
He kept yelling this to himself inside his head as he walked over to the couple and
punched the man in the face.
