Insert `value` if an equivalent key is not already present.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bslstl_set.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
xref:bsl/pair-0b.adoc[pair<set<KEY, COMPARATOR, ALLOCATOR>::iterator, bool>]
insert(xref:bsl/set-0d/value_type.adoc[value_type] const& value);
----

== Description

Return a pair whose `first` member is an iterator referring to the (possibly newly inserted) `value_type` object in this set that is equivalent to `value`, and whose `second` member is `true` if a new value was inserted, and `false` if the key was already present. This method requires that the (template parameter) type `KEY` be `copy‐insertable` into this set (see {Requirements on `KEY`}).

== Return Value

pair of iterator and whether a new element was inserted

== Parameters
