The C++std::unordered_set::count() function is used to count the number of particular elements or the specified key k in the unordered_set container. It does not accept any duplicate value , so if the key is present in the set it returns 1, otherwise 0.
The unordered_set is an associative container that contains a set of unique objects of type key. Every operation like insertion, search, and removal in an unordered_set has constant-time complexity.
SyntaxFollowing is the syntax of std::unordered_set::count() function.
size_type count ( const key_type& k ) const;Parameters
It returns 1 if an element with a value equivalent to k is found in unordered_set container, otherwise zero.
Example 1Let's look at the following example, where we are going to demonstrate the usage of count() function.
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <unordered_set> int main () { std::unordered_set<std::string> myset = { "sairam", "krishna", "prasad" }; for (auto& x: {"tutorialspoint","sairam","krishna","t-shirt"}) { if (myset.count(x)>0) std::cout << "myset has " << x << std::endl; else std::cout << "myset has no " << x << std::endl; } return 0; }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
myset has no tutorialspoint myset has sairam myset has krishna myset has no t-shirtExample 2
Consider the following example, where we are going to use the unordered_set with integer type and going to check whether the element exists or not.
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <unordered_set> using namespace std; int main () { unordered_set<int> myUset = { 10, 20, 30, 50, 60 }; cout<<"following is the element of the unordered_set!"<<endl; for(auto it:myUset){ cout<<it<<endl; } cout<<"is 10 present in the set: "<<myUset.count(20)<<endl; cout<<"is 70 present in the set: "<<myUset.count(70)<<endl; return 0; }Output
If we run the above code it will generate the following output −
following is the element of the unordered_set! 60 50 30 20 10 is 10 present in the set: 1 is 70 present in the set: 0Example 3
In the following example, we are going to use the unordered_set with type string and applying the count() function to check whether the element exists or not and displaying the if statement based on the conditions.
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <unordered_set> using namespace std; int main () { unordered_set<string> myUset = { "tutorialspoint", "India", "PVT", "LTD" }; cout<<"following is the element of the unordered_set!"<<endl; for(auto it:myUset){ cout<<it<<" "; } cout<<endl; if(myUset.count("tutorialspoint") == 1) cout<<"tutorialspoint is present in the set: "<<endl; else cout<<"tutorialspoint is not present in the set: "<<endl; return 0; }Output
Following is the output of the above code −
following is the element of the unordered_set! LTD PVT India tutorialspoint tutorialspoint is present in the set:Example 4
Following the another example of using the count() function with unordered_set of string type and checking the whether the element exists or not.
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <unordered_set> using namespace std; bool isPresent(string s, char ch) { unordered_set<char> set; for(int i=0; i<s.size(); i++){ set.insert(s[i]); } if(set.count(ch) == 1){ cout<<"char "<<ch<<" is present so it will print: "; return true; } cout<<"char "<<ch<<" is not present so it will print: "; return false; } int main() { cout << isPresent("tutorialspoint", 't') << '\n'; return 0; }Output
Output of the above code is as follows −
char t is present so it will print: 1
