How can I compare first "n" elements of two sets are equal or not? My following program doesn't work, why?
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <set>
#include<algorithm>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int n = 2;
int myints1[] = {75,23,65,42,13};
int myints2[] = {70,23,65,42,13};
set<int> myset1 (myints1,myints1+5);
set<int> myset2 (myints2,myints2+5);
if(std::equal(myset1.begin(),myset1.begin() + n ,myset2.begin())) //error
std::copy(std::myset1.begin(),myset1.begin() + n,ostream_iterator<int>(cout," ")); //error
cout << endl;
return 0;
}
UPDATE:
Is there a way to compare a specific element as well ? Thanks.
std::set iterators are bidirectional, not random-access. You can't say begin() + n
with them. Instead you might want to use std::advance
.
std::set<int>::iterator it(myset1.begin());
std::advance(it,n);
if(std::equal(myset1.begin(),it,myset2.begin()))
std::copy(myset1.begin(),it,ostream_iterator<int>(cout," "));
