The C++ std::unordered_set::insert() function is used to insert the elements into the unordered_set and extend the container size by one. This function does not insert duplicate elements, and it only inserts an element if the unordered_set container does not contain equivalent element to the specified element.
This function has 4 polymorphic variants: with using the hint, value, range, and ilist (you can find the syntaxes of all the variants below).
SyntaxFollowing is the syntax of std::unordered_set::insert() function.
pair<iterator,bool> insert (const value_type& val); or iterator insert (const_iterator hint, const value_type& val); or void insert (InputIterator first, InputIterator last); or void insert (initializer_list<value_type> il);Parameters
The function returns an iterator pointing to the newly inserted element.
Example 1Let's look at the following example, where we are going to demonstrate the usage of unordered_set::insert() function.
#include <iostream> #include <unordered_set> using namespace std; int main(void) { unordered_set<char> myUset = {'a', 'b'}; auto ins = myUset.insert('d'); cout<<"'d' was inserted: "<< boolalpha << ins.second << '\n'; cout<<" After insertion unordered_set contains"<<endl; for (auto it: myUset) cout<<" "<< it<<endl; return 0; }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
'd' was inserted: true After insertion unordered_set contains d b aExample 2
Consider the following example, where we are going to insert a value at the beginning of the current unordered_set.
#include <iostream> #include <unordered_set> using namespace std; int main(void) { unordered_set<char> myUset = {'a', 'b'}; auto it = myUset.begin(); myUset.insert(it, 'd'); cout<<" After insertion unordered_set contains"<<endl; for (auto it: myUset) cout<<" "<< it<<endl; return 0; }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
After insertion unordered_set contains d b aExample 3
Inserting elements in the range −
Following is the another example of the usage of insert() function to insert the array element into the unordered_set.
#include <iostream> #include <unordered_set> using namespace std; int main(void) { unordered_set<int> myUset = {1, 2}; array<int, 4> a = {10, 11, 12, 13}; myUset.insert (a.begin (), a.end ()); // insert range cout<<" After insertion unordered_set contains"<<endl; for (auto it: myUset) cout<< it<<" "; return 0; }Output
If we run the above code it will generate the following output −
After insertion unordered_set contains 13 12 11 10 2 1Example 4
In the following example, we are going to consider the two unordered_set one is filled with elements and another one is empty and performing the insert() function.
#include <iostream> #include <unordered_set> using namespace std; int main(void) { unordered_set<int> uSet = {1, 2, 3, 5}; //declare an empty unordered set unordered_set<int> myUset; //inserting element into the empty map from the first map myUset.insert(uSet.begin(), uSet.end()); cout << "myUset contains following elements" << endl; for (auto it: myUset) cout <<it<<" "; return 0; }Output
Following is the output of the above code −
myUset contains following elements 1 2 3 5Example 5
Following is the example, where we are going to consider the empty unordered-set and inserting the elements using the iterator.
#include <iostream> #include <unordered_set> using namespace std; int main(void) { //declare an empty unordered set unordered_set<int> myUset; myUset.insert ({20, 21, 22, 23}); // insert initializer_list cout << "myUset contains following elements after insertion: " << endl; for (auto it: myUset) cout <<it<<" "; return 0; }Output
Output of the above code is as follows −
myUset contains following elements after insertion: 23 22 21 20
