unordered_set::difference_type
The type of a signed distance between two elements.
typedef T3 difference_type;
Remarks
The signed integer type describes an object that can represent the difference between the addresses of any two elements in the controlled sequence. It is described here as a synonym for the implementation-defined type T3.
Example
// std_tr1__unordered_set__unordered_set_difference_type.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <unordered_set>
#include <iostream>
typedef std::tr1::unordered_set<char> Myset;
int main()
{
Myset c1;
c1.insert('a');
c1.insert('b');
c1.insert('c');
// display contents " [c] [b] [a]"
for (Myset::const_iterator it = c1.begin();
it != c1.end(); ++it)
std::cout << " [" << *it << "]";
std::cout << std::endl;
// compute positive difference
Myset::difference_type diff = 0;
for (Myset::const_iterator it = c1.begin();
it != c1.end(); ++it)
++diff;
std::cout << "end()-begin() == " << diff << std::endl;
// compute negative difference
diff = 0;
for (Myset::const_iterator it = c1.end();
it != c1.begin(); --it)
--diff;
std::cout << "begin()-end() == " << diff << std::endl;
return (0);
}
[c] [b] [a] end()-begin() == 3 begin()-end() == -3
