set::lower_bound, set::upper_bound, and set::equal_range
Illustrates how to use the set::lower_bound, set::upper_bound, and set::equal_range Standard Template Library (STL) functions in Visual C++.
template<class _K, class _Pr, class _A>
class set
{
public:
// Function 1:
const_iterator lower_bound(const _K& _Kv) const;
// Function 2:
const_iterator upper_bound(const _K& _Kv) const;
// Function 3:
_Paircc equal_range(const _K& _Kv) const;
}
Remarks
Hinweis
The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.
The lower_bound function returns an iterator to the earliest element in the controlled sequence that has a key that does not match the value passed to the lower_bound function. The upper_bound function returns an iterator to the earliest element in the controlled sequence that has a key matching the value passed to the upper_bound function. If no such element exists, the function returns end. In both cases, the function set::key_comp(key, x) is used to determine if the keys match. The equal_range function returns a pair value, where .First is the result of the lower_bound function, and .second is the result of the upper_bound function.
Example
// SetBoundRange.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
//
// Illustrates how to use the lower_bound function to get an
// iterator to the earliest element in the controlled sequence
// that has a key that does not match the value passed to the
// function. It also illustrates how to use the upper_bound
// function to get an iterator to the earliest element in the
// controlled sequence that has a key that matches the value
// passed to the function. The last thing it illustrates is
// how to use the equal_range function to get a pair value that
// contains the lower_bound and upper_bound results of the key.
//
// Functions:
//
// lower_bound Returns an iterator whose value does not match the
// key passed to the function, or end() if no such
// element exists.
// upper_bound Returns an iterator whose value matches the key
// passed to the function, or end() if no such element
// exists.
// equal_range Returns a pair of (lower_bound,upper_bound).
