Data structure recommendation?

Hi all- I'm looking for a data structure that is a bit like a dictionary or a hash map. In particular, I want a mapping of floats to objects. However, I want to map a RANGE of floats to an object. This will be used for timestamped storage / lookup, where the float represents the timestamp. get(x)

If you can imply a partial order on your ranges then you can get O(n lg n) random access using a heap data structure. You'll have to implement your own heap, but heap search is easy to implement (it's Heapify that might require a little thinking). This will only work, of course, if your ranges ar
