Standard C++ Library Copyright 1996, Rogue Wave Software, Inc. NAME set_intersection - Basic set operation for sorted sequences. SYNOPSIS #include <algorithm> template <class InputIterator1, class InputIterator2, class OutputIterator> OutputIterator set_intersection (InputIterator1 first1, InputIterator1 last1, InputIterator2 first2, InputIterator last2, OutputIterator result); template <class InputIterator1, class InputIterator2, class OutputIterator, class Compare> OutputIterator set_intersection (InputIterator1 first1, InputIterator1 last1, InputIterator2 first2, InputIterator2 last2, OutputIterator result, Compare comp); DESCRIPTION The set_intersection algorithm constructs a sorted intersection of elements from the two ranges. It returns the end of the constructed range. When it finds an element present in both ranges, set_intersection always copies the element from the first range into result. This means that the result of set_intersection is guaranteed to be stable. The result of set_intersection is undefined if the result range overlaps with either of the original ranges. set_intersection assumes that the ranges are sorted using the default comparison operator less than (<), unless an alternative comparison operator (comp) is provided. COMPLEXITY At most ((last1 - first1) + (last2 - first2)) * 2 -1 comparisons are per- formed. EXAMPLE // // set_intr.cpp // #include <algorithm> #include <set> #include <iostream.h> int main() { //Initialize some sets int a1[10] = {1,3,5,7,9,11}; int a3[4] = {3,5,7,8}; set<int, less<int> > odd(a1, a1+6), result, small(a3,a3+4); //Create an insert_iterator for result insert_iterator<set<int, less<int> > > res_ins(result, result.begin()); //Demonstrate set_intersection cout << "The result of:" << endl << "{"; copy(small.begin(),small.end(), ostream_iterator<int,char>(cout," ")); cout << "} intersection {"; copy(odd.begin(),odd.end(), ostream_iterator<int,char>(cout," ")); cout << "} =" << endl << "{"; set_intersection(small.begin(), small.end(), odd.begin(), odd.end(), res_ins); copy(result.begin(),result.end(), ostream_iterator<int,char>(cout," ")); cout << "}" << endl << endl; return 0; } Output : The result of: {3 5 7 8 } intersection {1 3 5 7 9 11 } = {3 5 7 } WARNING If your compiler does not support default template parameters, then you need to always supply the Compare template argument and the Allocator template argument. For instance, you will need to write : set<int, less<int> allocator<int> > instead of : set<int> SEE ALSO includes, set, set_union, set_difference, set_symmetric_difference STANDARDS CONFORMANCE ANSI X3J16/ISO WG21 Joint C++ Committee
