Example

The following example shows the usage of std::unordered_set::insert.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <array>
#include <unordered_set>

int main () {
   std::unordered_set<std::string> myset = {"sairam","krishna","mammahe"};
   std::array<std::string,2> myarray = {"ram","mammahe"};
   std::string mystring = "krishna";

   myset.insert (mystring);                        
   myset.insert (mystring);                 
   myset.insert (myarray.begin(), myarray.end()); 
   myset.insert ( {"sai","mammahe"} );          

   std::cout << "myset contains:";
   for (const std::string& x: myset) std::cout << " " << x;
   std::cout <<  std::endl;

   return 0;
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

myset contains: sai mammahe sairam ram krishna
