C++ Library - <unordered_set>



Introduction

It is an associative container that store unique elements in no particular order, and which allow for fast retrieval of individual elements based on their value.

Definition

Below is definition of std::unordered_set

template < class Key,                        
           class Hash = hash<Key>,        
           class Pred = equal_to<Key>,    
           class Alloc = allocator<Key>   
           > class unordered_set;

Parameters

  • Key − It defines the type of element.

  • Hash − It is a unary function object.

  • Pred − It is a binary predicate that takes two arguments of the same type as the elements and returns a bool.

  • Alloc − It defines the type of allowcater.

Member types

Following member types can be used as parameters or return type by member functions.

member type definition notes
key_type It is the first template parameter (Key)
value_type It is the first template parameter (Key) The same as key_type
hasher It is the second template parameter (Hash) defaults to: hash<key_type>
key_equal It is the third template parameter (Pred) defaults to: equal_to<key_type>
allocator_type It is the fourth template parameter (Alloc) defaults to: allocator<value_type>
reference Alloc::reference
const_reference Alloc::const_reference
pointer Alloc::pointer for the default allocator: value_type*
const_pointer Alloc::const_pointer for the default allocator: const value_type*
iterator a forward iterator to const value_type * convertible to const_iterator
const_iterator a forward iterator to const value_type *
local_iterator a forward iterator to const value_type * convertible to const_local_iterator
const_local_iterator a forward iterator to const value_type *
size_type an unsigned integral type usually the same as size_t
difference_type a signed integral type usually the same as ptrdiff_t
