The em(set) container, like the tt(map) container, orders its elements. If
ordering is not an issue, but fast lookups are, then a hash-based set and/or
multi-set may be preferred. bf(C++) provides such hash-based sets and
multi-sets: the ti(unordered_set) and tt(unordered_multiset).
Before using these hash-based set containers the header file
tthi(unordered_set) must be included.
Elements stored in the tt(unordered_set) are immutable, but they can be
inserted and removed from the container. Different from the tt(unordered_map),
the tt(unordered_set) does not use a tt(ValueType). The set merely stores
elements, and the stored element itself is its own key.
The tt(unordered_set) has the same constructors as the tt(unordered_map), but
the set's tt(value_type) is equal to its tt(key_type).
When defining an ti(unordered_set) type four template arguments must be
specified :
itemization(
it() a i(KeyType) (becoming ti(unordered_set::key_type)),
it() the type of an object computing a hash value from a key value
(becoming ti(unordered_set::hasher)), and
it() the type of an object that can compare two keys for equality (becoming
ti(unordered_set::key_equal)).
it() the type of its allocator. This is usually left unspecified, using
the allocator provided by default by the implementor.
)
The generic definition of an tt(unordered_set) container looks like this:
verb(
std::unordered_set <KeyType, hash type, predicate type, allocator type>
)
When tt(KeyType) is tt(std::string) or a built-in type then default types
are available for the hash type and the predicate type. In practice the
allocator type is not specified, as the default allocator suffices. In these
cases an tt(unordered_set) object can be defined by merely specifying the key-
and value types, like this:
verb(
std::unordered_set<std::string> rawSet(size_t size = implSize);
)
Here, tt(implSize) is the container's default initial size, which is
specified by the implementor. The set's size is automatically enlarged when
necessary, in which case the container em(rehashes) all its elements. In
practice the default tt(size) argument provided by the implementor is
completely satisfactory.
The tt(unordered_set) supports the following constructors:
itemization(
it() The copy and move constructors are available;
itt(explicit unordered_set+CHAR(40)size_type n = implSize,
hasher const &hf = hasher(),)nl()
tt(key_equal const &eql = key_equal(),)nl()
tt(allocator_type const &alloc = allocator_type()CHAR(41)):
this constructor can also be used as default constructor;
itt(unordered_set(const_iterator begin,
const_iterator end,
size_type n = implSize, hasher const &hf = hasher(),
key_equal const &eql = key_equal(),
allocator_type const &alloc = allocator_type())):
this constructor expects two iterators specifying
a range of tt(unordered_set::value_type const) objects, and
itt(unordered_set(initializer_list<value_type> initList,
size_type n = implSize, hasher const &hf = hasher(),
key_equal const &eql = key_equal(),
allocator_type const &alloc = allocator_type())):
a constructor expecting an tt(initializer_list) of
tt(unordered_set::value_type) values.
)
The tt(unordered_set) does not offer an index operator, and it does not offer
an tt(at) member. Other than those, it offers the same members as the
tt(unordered_map). Below the members whose behavior differs from the behavior
of the tt(unordered_map) are discussed. For a description of the remaining
members, please refer to section ref(UMAPMEMBERS).
itemization(
ithtq(emplace)
(iterator emplace(Args &&...args))
(a tt(value_type) object is constructed from tt(emplace)'s
arguments. It is added to the set if it is unique, and an iterator to the
tt(value_type) is returned.)
ithtq(emplace_hint)(iterator emplace_hint(const_iterator position,
Args &&...args))
(a tt(value_type) object is constructed from the member's
arguments, and if the newly created element is unique it is inserted into the
tt(unordered_set). The
implementation may or may not use tt(position) as a em(hint) to start looking
for an insertion point. The returned tt(iterator) points to the
tt(value_type).)
ithtq(erase)(unordered_set::iterator erase())
(erases a specific range of elements in the unordered_set:)
itemization(
itt(erase(key_type const &key)) erases tt(key) from the set. An
iterator pointing to the next element is returned.
itt(erase(pos)) erases the element pointed to by the iterator
tt(pos). The iterator tt(++pos) is returned.
itt(erase(first, beyond)) erases elements indicated by the iterator
range rangett(first, beyond), returning tt(beyond).
