What is the equivalent of HashSet in C++? How do I use it (as in basic add, remove, and iterating through)
At the moment, my guess is that it would be std::tr1::unordered_set, but being part of the TR1 extensions, it may not necessarily be available.
For the time being, you could use Boost.Unordered, which provided the basis for the unordered containers in TR1. Boost provides a TR1 wrapper too.
From what language?
c++ has std::set/std::map, which is (usually) implemented as a binary tree (red/black tree as a matter of fact).
boost has a boost::hash_set/boost::hash_map which is basically the same thing, but implemented as a hash structure. This will be implemented into c++ as "std::::tr1::unordered_set" and "std::::tr1::unordered_map". Boost's structure has been renamed a a consequence.
As for how to use them, maybe the best thing for you to do is to google these structures and come back if you have any questions? I can answer any of your questions, but there are better tutorials out there then I can type right now.

Hope that helps?
