STL ALGO SET OPERATION

Five Type of Set algorithms

In <stl_algo.h>

Set algorithms: includes, set_union, set_intersection, set_difference, set_symmetric_difference. All of these algorithms have the precondition that their input ranges are sorted and the postcondition that their output ranges are sorted.

Each algorithm has two impletementation, one of them with user-defined Compare function. In this article, we just list the first one and annotate requirement check code.
