How to Copy a Set in C++


How to Copy a Set in C++ ?

Answer

In C++, you can copy a set by creating a new set and inserting elements from the original set into the new one.



✐ Examples

1 Copying a Set

In this example,

  1. We have an existing set named originalSet with some elements.
  2. We create a new set named copiedSet.
  3. We iterate over each element in originalSet and insert it into copiedSet.

C++ Program

#include <iostream>
#include <set>

int main() {
    std::set<int> originalSet = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    std::set<int> copiedSet;

    for (const auto& element : originalSet) {
        copiedSet.insert(element);
    }

    // Print original and copied sets
    std::cout << "Original Set:";
    for (const auto& element : originalSet) {
        std::cout << " " << element;
    }
    std::cout << std::endl;

    std::cout << "Copied Set:";
    for (const auto& element : copiedSet) {
        std::cout << " " << element;
    }
    std::cout << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

Output

Original Set: 1 2 3 4 5
Copied Set: 1 2 3 4 5

2 Copying an Empty Set

In this example,

  1. We have an existing empty set named originalSet.
  2. We create a new empty set named copiedSet.

C++ Program

#include <iostream>
#include <set>

int main() {
    std::set<int> originalSet;
    std::set<int> copiedSet;

    // Print original and copied sets (both empty)
    std::cout << "Original Set:";
    for (const auto& element : originalSet) {
        std::cout << " " << element;
    }
    std::cout << std::endl;

    std::cout << "Copied Set:";
    for (const auto& element : copiedSet) {
        std::cout << " " << element;
    }
    std::cout << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

Output

Original Set:
Copied Set:
