list that doesn't allow duplicates c++
To create a list in C++ that doesn't allow duplicates, you can use the std::set container. Here are the steps to achieve this:
Include the necessary header file at the beginning of your code:
cpp #include <set>
Define a set with the desired data type, for example, int:
cpp std::set<int> uniqueList;
To insert elements into the set, use the insert function:
cpp uniqueList.insert(5); uniqueList.insert(3); uniqueList.insert(7);
The set will automatically discard duplicate elements, so attempting to insert a duplicate value will have no effect:
cpp uniqueList.insert(5); // This will not add a duplicate 5 to the set
To iterate through the unique elements in the set, you can use a range-based for loop or iterators:
cpp for (const auto& element : uniqueList) { // Access each unique element here }
You can also check if a certain value is already in the set using the find function, which returns an iterator:
cpp auto it = uniqueList.find(3); if (it != uniqueList.end()) { // Element found in the set } else { // Element not found in the set }
