binary '[' : no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type 'const std::map<_Kty,_Ty>'

I don't know where the error is coming from. It seems like I'm passing valid data into the [ ] operator.

template <class VertexType>
typename map< Vertex<VertexType>, int >::iterator Graph<VertexType>::findEdge( const VertexType& v, const VertexType& w ) const
{
    map<Vertex<VertexType>, int>::const_iterator iter = vertices[v].second.adjList.find(w);

    return iter;
}  // end findEdge  

The error:

error C2678: binary '[' : no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type 'const std::map<_Kty,_Ty>' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

And the Graph class:

template <class VertexType>
class Graph
{
private:
     // list of all vertices in the graph. assumes non-duplicate data.
    map< VertexType, Vertex<VertexType> > vertices;

    const unsigned MAX_VERTICES;  // Maximum number of vertices the graph can hold.
    unsigned numVertices;         /** Current number of vertices in the graph. */
    unsigned numEdges;            /** Number of edges in the graph. */

    typename map< Vertex<VertexType>, int >::iterator findEdge( const VertexType& v, const VertexType& w ) const;  

public:
   Graph( unsigned max );

   unsigned getNumVertices() const;
   unsigned getMaxNumVertices() const;
   unsigned getNumEdges() const;
   int getWeight( const VertexType& v, const VertexType& w ) const;

   Graph<VertexType>& addVertex( const VertexType& newValue );
   Graph<VertexType>& addEdge( const VertexType& v, const VertexType& w, int weight );
   void removeEdge( const VertexType& v, const VertexType& w );
   void BFS( const VertexType& v ) const;
   void display() const;
}; // end Graph

operator[] can only be called on a non-const map.

If the key doesn't exist, it will be inserted with a default constructed value.

To get a const iterator, use map::find.
