For lookup tables, if you do not need to compare the keys, a hash map  
is fastest - time complexity O(1), otherwise a balanced tree (like C++  
std::map) - complexity O(log n). There might be some C++ hash map  
classes at <http://www.boost.org/>. But if n is small and use not too  
intense, just about any container will do.
