which one is faster map or unordered_map in cpp? [confused]

Revision en1, by Garavitey, 2023-12-21 19:03:06

I was trying to the this question and during that, I used the following code. ~~~~~ void solve() {

read(n); read(x);
map<int,int>mp;
for(int i = 0; i< n; i++){
    int a; cin>>a;
    if(mp.find(a) != mp.end()){
        int b = mp[a]+1;
        cout<<b<<" "<<i+1<<endl;
        return;
    }
    else{
        mp[x-a] = i;
    }
}
cout<<"IMPOSSIBLE"<<endl;

} ~~~~~ this did not give any tle error but when i used the following code

void solve() {

    read(n); read(x);
    unordered_map<int,int>mp;
    for(int i = 0; i< n; i++){
        int a; cin>>a;
        if(mp.find(a) != mp.end()){
            int b = mp[a]+1;
            cout<<b<<" "<<i+1<<endl;
            return;
        }
        else{
            mp[x-a] = i;
        }
    }
    cout<<"IMPOSSIBLE"<<endl;


}

it was giving tle in the test cases 23 and 24. now I know that both of them are the same except for the use of data structure, but the map should be slower than unordered_map but the opposite is true, why is this happening can anyone explain?

code of unordered_map

code for map
