Binary searching in a std::multiset can be a bit tricky since a multiset allows duplicate values. However, you can still implement a search to find the first occurrence of a value or to check the presence of a value efficiently using its iterators.
Below is an example demonstrating how to perform a binary search in a std::multiset:
#include
#include
int main() {
std::multiset mset = {1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6};
int value_to_find = 4;
auto it = mset.lower_bound(value_to_find); // Get an iterator to the first occurrence
if (it != mset.end() && *it == value_to_find) {
std::cout << value_to_find << " found in multiset." << std::endl;
} else {
std::cout << value_to_find << " not found in multiset." << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
