std::set(3)

NAME
std::set - std::set

Synopsis
   Defined in header <set>
   template<
   class Key,
   class Compare = std::less<Key>, (1)
   class Allocator = std::allocator<Key>
   > class set;
   namespace pmr {
   template <class Key, class Compare = std::less<Key>>
   using set = std::set<Key, Compare, (2) (since C++17)
   std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator<Key>>;
   }
   std::set is an associative container that contains a sorted set of unique objects of
   type Key. Sorting is done using the key comparison function Compare. Search,
   removal, and insertion operations have logarithmic complexity. Sets are usually
   implemented as red-black trees.
   Everywhere the standard library uses the Compare requirements, uniqueness is
   determined by using the equivalence relation. In imprecise terms, two objects a and
   b are considered equivalent if neither compares less than the other: !comp(a, b) &&
   !comp(b, a).
   std::set meets the requirements of Container, AllocatorAwareContainer,
   AssociativeContainer and ReversibleContainer.

Notes
   The member types iterator and const_iterator may be aliases to the same type. This
   means defining a pair of function overloads using the two types as parameter types
   may violate the One Definition Rule. Since iterator is convertible to
   const_iterator, a single function with a const_iterator as parameter type will work
   instead.
