#include <iostream>
#include <map>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    // create your dictonary
    map<string, string>dict = { {"david", "123"} };
    string username, password;
    cout<<"Enter username: "<<endl; cin>>username;
    cout<<"Enter password: "<<endl; cin>>password;
    // Check if provided username and password matches with the one is dictonary
    if(dict.find(username) != dict.end() && dict[username] == password) {
        cout<<"Login Successfully!";
    } else {
