C++ set emplace_hint()

C++ set emplace_hint() function is used to extend the set container by inserting new elements into the container using hint as a position for element. Elements are built directly (neither copied nor moved).

The constructor of the element is called by giving the arguments args passed to this function.

Insertion takes place only if key is not present already.

Syntax

  template <class…. Args>      iterator emplace_hint (const_iterator position, Args&&… args);  //since C++ 11  

Parameter

args: The arguments forwarded to construct an element to be inserted into the set.

position: Hint for the position to insert the new elements.

Return value

It returns an iterator to the newly inserted elements. If element is already exist, insertion is failed and returns iterator to the existing element.

Complexity

If position is not specified then complexity will be logarithmic in container size.

If position is given then complexity will be amortized constant.

Iterator validity

No changes.

Data Races

The container is modified.

Iterating ranges in the container is not safe although concurrently accessing exiting elements are safe.

Exception Safety

If an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the container.

Example 1

Let’s see the simple example to insert the elements into the set:

  #include <iostream>  #include <set>    using namespace std;    int main(void) {     set<int> m = {60, 20, 30, 40};                   m.emplace_hint(m.end(), 50);     m.emplace_hint(m.begin(), 10);       cout << “Set contains following elements” << endl;       for (auto it = m.begin(); it != m.end(); ++it)        cout << *it<< endl;       return 0;  }   

Output:

Set contains following elements  10  20  30  40   50  60

In the above example, it simply inserts the element into the set m with the given value in the given positions.

Example 2

Let’s see a simple example:

  #include <set>    #include <string>    #include <iostream>        using namespace std;        template <typename M> void print(const M& m) {        cout << m.size() << ” elements: ” << endl;            for (const auto& p : m) {            cout << p << ”  ” ;        }            cout << endl;    }        int main()    {        set<string> m1;            // Emplace some test data        m1.emplace(“Ram”);        m1.emplace(“Rakesh”);        m1.emplace(“Sunil”);            cout << “set starting data: “;        print(m1);        cout << endl;            // Emplace with hint        // m1.end() should be the “next” element after this emplacement        m1.emplace_hint(m1.end(), “Deep”);            cout << “set modified, now contains “;        print(m1);        cout << endl;    }   

Output:

set starting data: 3 elements:   Rakesh  Ram  Sunil      set modified, now contains 4 elements:   Deep  Rakesh  Ram  Sunil

Example 3

Let’s see a simple example to insert the elements into the set with the given position:

  #include <iostream>  #include <set>    using namespace std;    int main ()  {    set<char> myset;    auto it = myset.end();      it = myset.emplace_hint(it,’b’);    myset.emplace_hint(it,’a’);    myset.emplace_hint(myset.end(),’c’);      cout << “myset contains:”;    for (auto& x: myset)      cout << ” [” << x << ‘]’;      cout << ‘n’;      return 0;  }  

Output:

myset contains: [a] [b] [c]

Example 4

Let’s see a simple example to insert the elements:

  #include <iostream>  #include <set>  #include <string>    using namespace std;    int main() {      typedef set<string> city;       string name;     city fmly ;     int n;       cout<<“Enter the number of family members :”;     cin>>n;       cout<<“Enter the name of each member: n”;     for(int i =0; i<n; i++)     {         cin>> name;      // Get key           fmly.emplace_hint(fmly.begin(),name);              }             cout<<“nTotal memnbers in family are:”<< fmly.size();          cout<<“nDetails of family members: n”;        cout<<“nName n ________________________n”;        city::iterator p;        for(p = fmly.begin(); p!=fmly.end(); p++)        {            cout<<(*p) <<” n “;        }           return 0;  }  

Output:

Enter the number of fmly members : 4  Enter the name of each member:   Deep  Sonu  Ajeet  Bob    Total memnber of fmly is:4  Details of fmly members:     Name    ________________________   Ajeet    Bob    Deep    Sonu

In the above example, it simply inserts the elements by the user’s choice in the beginning of set.
