Implement flat_map, redistribute wealth evenly
Problem 1: Implement std::flat_map
Implement a C++ container similar to std::flat_map. Your implementation should include:
- The core
flat_mapdata structure. - A functional iterator for traversing elements.
- An explanation of your design choices, considering aspects like memory layout, search efficiency, and insertion/deletion performance.
- Thorough test cases to validate the correctness and robustness of your implementation.
Problem 2: Redistribute Wealth Evenly
Given an array of integers, where each integer represents an individual's wealth (which can be negative, zero, or positive), design and implement an algorithm to redistribute the total wealth such that every person's wealth is as close as possible to each other. You are expected to describe your approach aloud while coding.

Core dilemma
Balancing the memory efficiency and cache locality benefits of contiguous storage for a sorted map with the performance implications of insertions and deletions, while adhering to C++ standard library interface expectations and demonstrating fundamental algorithmic problem-solving.
