set::value_type
A type that describes an object stored as an element of a set in its capacity as a value.
typedef Key value_type;
Remarks
value_type is a synonym for the template parameter Key.
For more information on Key, see the Remarks section of the set Class topic.
Note that both key_type and value_type are synonyms for the template parameter Key. Both types are provided for the set and multiset classes, where they are identical, for compatibility with the map and multimap classes, where they are distinct.
Example
// set_value_type.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <set>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
set <int> s1;
set <int>::iterator s1_Iter;
set <int>::value_type svt_Int; // Declare value_type
svt_Int = 10; // Initialize value_type
set <int> :: key_type skt_Int; // Declare key_type
skt_Int = 20; // Initialize key_type
s1.insert( svt_Int ); // Insert value into s1
s1.insert( skt_Int ); // Insert key into s1
// A set accepts key_types or value_types as elements
cout << "The set has elements:";
for ( s1_Iter = s1.begin( ) ; s1_Iter != s1.end( ); s1_Iter++)
cout << " " << *s1_Iter;
cout << "." << endl;
}
The set has elements: 10 20.
