Set
Sets are containers that store unique elements following a specific order.
In a set, the value of an element also identifies it (the value is itself the key, of type T), and each value must be unique. The value of the elements in a set cannot be modified once in the container (the elements are always const), but they can be inserted or removed from the container.
Internally, the elements in a set are always sorted following a specific strict weak ordering criterion indicated by its internal comparison object (of type Compare).
set containers are generally slower than unordered_set containers to access individual elements by their key, but they allow the direct iteration on subsets based on their order.
Sets are typically implemented as binary search trees.
Container properties
-
Associative
-
Elements in associative containers are referenced by their key and not by their absolute position in the container.
-
Ordered
-
The elements in the container follow a strict order at all times. All inserted elements are given a position in this order.
-
Set
-
The value of an element is also the key used to identify it.
-
Unique keys
-
No two elements in the container can have equivalent keys.
-
Allocator-aware
-
The container uses an allocator object to dynamically handle its storage needs.
Template parameters
-
T
-
Type of the elements. Each element in a set container is also uniquely identified by this value (each value is itself also the element's key).
Aliased as member types set::key_type and set::value_type.
-
Compare
-
A binary predicate that takes two arguments of the same type as the elements and returns a bool. The expression comp(a,b), where comp is an object of this type and a and b are key values, shall return true if a is considered to go before b in the strict weak ordering the function defines.
The set object uses this expression to determine both the order the elements follow in the container and whether two element keys are equivalent (by comparing them reflexively: they are equivalent if !comp(a,b) && !comp(b,a)). No two elements in a set container can be equivalent.
This can be a function pointer or a function object (see constructor for an example). This defaults to less<T>, which returns the same as applying the less-than operator (a<b).
Aliased as member types set::key_compare and set::value_compare.
-
Alloc
-
Type of the allocator object used to define the storage allocation model. By default, the allocator class template is used, which defines the simplest memory allocation model and is value-independent.
Aliased as member type set::allocator_type.

*Note: All iterators in a
set
point to const elements. Whether the
const_
member type is the same type as its non-
const_
counterpart depends on the particular library implementation, but programs should not rely on them being different to overload functions:
const_iterator
is more generic, since
iterator
is always convertible to it.
