int main() {
std::map<std::string,std::string> a_map;
a_map["Geely"] = "Chinese";
a_map["Peugeot"] = "French";
a_map["Mercedes"] = "German";
a_map["Toyota"] = "Japanese";
a_map["Ford"] = "American";
a_map["Fiat"] = "Italian";
for (auto it = a_map.cbegin(); it != std::next(a_map.cbegin(), 3); ++it) {
std::cout << it->first << " : " << it->second << '\n';
