std::set count() method

od C++14

// (1) Const version
size_type count( const Key& key ) const;

// (2) Const version
template< class K >
size_type count( const K& x ) const;

do C++14

// (1) Const version
size_type count( const Key& key ) const;

Returns the number of elements with key that compares equivalent to the specified argument, which is either 1 or 0 since this container does not allow duplicates.

• (1) Returns the number of elements with key key.
• (2) Returns the number of elements with key that compares equivalent to the value x. This overload participates in overload resolution only if the qualified-id Compare::is_transparent is valid and denotes a type. They allow calling this function without constructing an instance of Key.

Parameters

• key - key value of the elements to count
• x - a value of any type that can be transparently compared with a key

Return value

Number of elements with key that compares equivalent to key or x, which is either 1 or 0 for (1).

Complexity

Logarithmic in the size of the container - O(log size()).

Exceptions

(none)

Example

Main.cpp

#include <set>
#include <iostream>
 
struct S {
    int x;
    S(int i) : x{i} { std::cout << "S{" << i << "} "; }
    bool operator<(S const& s) const { return x < s.x; }
};
 
struct R {
    int x;
    R(int i) : x{i} { std::cout << "R{" << i << "} "; }
    bool operator<(R const& r) const { return x < r.x; }
};
bool operator<(R const& r, int i) { return r.x < i; }
bool operator<(int i, R const& r) { return i < r.x; }
 
int main()
{
    std::set<int> t{3, 1, 4, 1, 5};
    std::cout << t.count(1) << ", " << t.count(2) << ".\n";
 
    std::set<S> s{3, 1, 4, 1, 5};
    std::cout << ": " << s.count(1) << ", " << s.count(2) << ".\n";
        // Two temporary objects S{1} and S{2} were created.
        // Comparison function object is defaulted std::less<S>,
        // which is not transparent (has no is_transparent member type).
 
    std::set<R, std::less<>> r{3, 1, 4, 1, 5};
    std::cout << ": " << r.count(1) << ", " << r.count(2) << ".\n";
        // C++14 heterogeneous lookup; temporary objects were not created.
        // Comparator std::less<void> has predefined is_transparent.
}

Possible output

1, 0.
S{3} S{1} S{4} S{1} S{5} : S{1} 1, S{2} 0.
R{3} R{1} R{4} R{1} R{5} : 1, 0.
