Member Functions

NameDescription
set [constructor]Constructors
~set [destructor]Destroy this object.
operator= Assignment operators
begin begin overloads
cbegin Return an iterator providing non-modifiable access to the first value_type object in the ordered sequence of value_type objects maintained by this set, or the cend iterator if this set is empty.
cend Return an iterator providing non-modifiable access to the past-the-end element in the ordered sequence of value_type objects maintained by this set.
clear Remove all entries from this set. Note that the set is empty after this call, but allocated memory may be retained for future use.
contains Return true if this map contains an element whose key is equivalent to the specified key.
count count overloads
crbegin Return a reverse iterator providing non-modifiable access to the last value_type object in the ordered sequence of value_type objects maintained by this set, or crend if this set is empty.
crend Return a reverse iterator providing non-modifiable access to the prior-to-the-beginning element in the ordered sequence of value_type objects maintained by this set.
emplace Insert into this set a newly created value_type object, constructed by forwarding get_allocator() (if required) and the specified (variable number of) arguments to the corresponding constructor of value_type, if a key equivalent to such a value does not already exist in this set; otherwise, this method has no effect (other than possibly creating a temporary value_type object). Return a pair whose first member is an iterator referring to the (possibly newly created and inserted) object in this set whose value is equivalent to that of an object constructed from arguments, and whose second member is true if a new value was inserted, and false if an equivalent key was already present. This method requires that the (template parameter) type KEY be emplace-constructible from arguments (see {Requirements on KEY}).
emplace_hint Insert into this set a newly created value_type object, constructed by forwarding get_allocator() (if required) and the specified (variable number of) arguments to the corresponding constructor of value_type, (in amortized constant time if the specified hint is a valid immediate successor to the value_type object constructed from arguments), if a key equivalent to such a value does not already exist in this set; otherwise, this method has no effect (other than possibly creating a temporary value_type object). Return an iterator referring to the (possibly newly created and inserted) object in this set whose value is equivalent to that of an object constructed from arguments. If hint is not a valid immediate successor to the value_type object implied by arguments, this operation has O[log(N)] complexity where N is the size of this set. This method requires that the (template parameter) type KEY be emplace-constructible from arguments (see {Requirements on KEY}). The behavior is undefined unless hint is an iterator in the range [begin() .. end()] (both endpoints included).
empty Return true if this set contains no elements, and false otherwise.
end end overloads
equal_range equal_range overloads
erase erase overloads
find find overloads
get_allocator Return (a copy of) the allocator used for memory allocation by this set.
insert insert overloads
insert_range Insert into this set the value of each value_type object in the specified range if the key equivalent of that object is not already contained in this map. The (template parameter) type RANGE must meet the requirements the C++20 standard [ranges]providing access to values of a type convertible to value_type, and value_type must be emplace-constructible from *i into this map, where i is a dereferenceable iterator obtained from range (see {Requirements on KEY}). The behavior is undefined if range overlaps this set.
key_comp Return the key-comparison functor (or function pointer) used by this set; if a comparator was supplied at construction, return its value, otherwise return a default constructed key_compare object. Note that this comparator compares objects of type KEY, which is the type of the value_type objects contained in this set.
lower_bound lower_bound overloads
max_size Return a theoretical upper bound on the largest number of elements that this set could possibly hold. Note that there is no guarantee that the set can successfully grow to the returned size, or even close to that size without running out of resources.
rbegin rbegin overloads
rend rend overloads
size Return the number of elements in this set.
swap Exchange the value and comparator of this object with those of the specified other object; also exchange the allocator of this object with that of other if the (template parameter) type ALLOCATOR has the propagate_on_container_swap trait, and do not modify either allocator otherwise. This method provides the no-throw exception-safety guarantee if and only if the (template parameter) type COMPARATOR provides a no-throw swap operation, and provides the basic exception-safety guarantee otherwise; if an exception is thrown, both objects are left in valid but unspecified states. This operation has O[1] complexity if either this object was created with the same allocator as other or ALLOCATOR has the propagate_on_container_swap trait; otherwise, it has O[n + m] complexity, where n and m are the number of elements in this object and other, respectively. Note that this method`s support for swapping objects created with different allocators when ALLOCATOR does not have the propagate_on_container_swap trait is a departure from the C++ Standard.
upper_bound upper_bound overloads
value_comp Return a functor for comparing two value_type objects using key_comp(). Note that since value_type is an alias to KEY for set, this method returns the same functor as key_comp().

Deduction Guides

NameDescription
set<KEY> Deduce the template parameter KEY from the value_type of the initializer_list supplied to the constructor of set. This deduction guide does not participate unless the specified ALLOC is convertible to bsl::allocator<KEY>.
set<KEY> Deduce the template parameter KEY from the value_type of the iterators supplied to the constructor of set. This deduction guide does not participate unless the specified ALLOC is convertible to bsl::allocator<KEY>.
set<KEY, COMPARATOR> Deduce the template parameter KEY from the value_type of the initializer_list supplied to the constructor of set. Deduce the template parameter COMPARATOR from the other parameter passed to the constructor. This deduction guide does not participate unless the specified ALLOC is convertible to bsl::allocator<KEY>.
set<KEY, COMPARATOR> Deduce the template parameter KEY from the value_type of the iterators supplied to the constructor of set. Deduce the template parameter COMPARATOR from the other parameter passed to the constructor. This deduction guide does not participate unless the specified ALLOC is convertible to bsl::allocator<KEY>.
set<KEY, COMPARATOR, ALLOCATOR> Deduce the template parameter KEY from the value_type of the initializer_list supplied to the constructor of set. Deduce the template parameters COMPARATOR and ALLOCATOR from the other parameters passed to the constructor.
set<KEY, COMPARATOR, ALLOCATOR> Deduce the template parameter KEY from the value_type of the iterators supplied to the constructor of set. Deduce the template parameters COMPARATOR and ALLOCATOR from the other parameters passed to the constructor. This guide does not participate unless the supplied (or defaulted) ALLOCATOR meets the requirements of a standard allocator.
set<KEY, std::less<KEY>, ALLOCATOR> Deduce the template parameter KEY from the value_type of the initializer_list supplied to the constructor of set. Deduce the template parameter ALLOCATOR from the other parameter passed to the constructor.
set<KEY, std::less<KEY>, ALLOCATOR> Deduce the template parameter KEY from the value_type of the iterators supplied to the constructor of set. Deduce the template parameter ALLOCATOR from the other parameter passed to the constructor. This deduction guide does not participate unless the supplied allocator meets the requirements of a standard allocator.

Non-Member Functions

NameDescription
erase_ifErase all the elements in the specified set s that satisfy the specified predicate predicate. Return the number of elements erased.
operator<=>Perform a lexicographic three-way comparison of the specified lhs and the specified rhs sets by using the comparison operators of KEY on each element; return the result of that comparison.
operator==Return true if the specified lhs and rhs objects have the same value, and false otherwise. Two set objects lhs and rhs have the same value if they have the same number of keys, and each element in the ordered sequence of keys of lhs has the same value as the corresponding element in the ordered sequence of keys of rhs. This method requires that the (template parameter) type KEY be equality-comparable (see {Requirements on KEY}).
swapExchange the value and comparator of the specified a object with those of the specified b object; also exchange the allocator of a with that of b if the (template parameter) type ALLOCATOR has the propagate_on_container_swap trait, and do not modify either allocator otherwise. This function provides the no-throw exception-safety guarantee if and only if the (template parameter) type COMPARATOR provides a no-throw swap operation, and provides the basic exception-safety guarantee otherwise; if an exception is thrown, both objects are left in valid but unspecified states. This operation has O[1] complexity if either a was created with the same allocator as b or ALLOCATOR has the propagate_on_container_swap trait; otherwise, it has O[n + m] complexity, where n and m are the number of elements in a and b, respectively. Note that this function`s support for swapping objects created with different allocators when ALLOCATOR does not have the propagate_on_container_swap trait is a departure from the C++ Standard.
