std::unordered_set end() method

// Non const version
iterator end() noexcept;

// Const version
const_iterator end() const noexcept;

// Const version
const_iterator end() const noexcept;

Returns an iterator

to the element past-the-end of the unordered_set. If the array is empty, the returned iterator will be equal to begin().

Attempting to dereference a past-the-end iterator is undefined behaviour

.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

Iterator to the first element.

Exceptions

(none)

Complexity

Constant - O(1).

Difference between end and cend

For a const container c, end and cend are the same - c.end() == c.cend()

For non-const container of type c they return different iterators:

#include <unordered_set>

int main()
{
std::unordered_set<int> unordered_set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
auto it = unordered_set.begin(); // Type: std::unordered_set<int>::iterator
*std::prev(it) = 5; // ✔ Ok
}

Example

Main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <unordered_set>

struct Point { double x, y; };

int main() {
Point pts[3] = { {1, 0}, {2, 0}, {3, 0} };

//points is a set containing the addresses of points
std::unordered_set<Point *> points = { pts, pts + 1, pts + 2 };

//Change each y-coordinate of (i, 0) from 0 into i^2 and print the point
for(auto iter = points.begin(); iter != points.end(); ++iter){
(*iter)->y = ((*iter)->x) * ((*iter)->x); //iter is a pointer-to-Point*
std::cout << "(" << (*iter)->x << ", " << (*iter)->y << ") ";
}
std::cout << '\n';

//Now using the range-based for loop, we increase each y-coordinate by 10
for(Point * i : points) {
i->y += 10;
std::cout << "(" << i->x << ", " << i->y << ") ";
}
}
Output
(3, 9) (1, 1) (2, 4) 
(3, 19) (1, 11) (2, 14)
