In C++, the `std::set` container can be utilized to store unique elements. When dealing with custom types, you may need to provide a custom comparator. This is especially useful in embedded systems where memory and performance are critical. Using a custom comparator allows you to define your own sorting logic for the elements within the set.
Here's how you can implement a `std::set` with a custom comparator in C++:
#include
#include
#include
struct CustomComparator {
bool operator() (const std::string &a, const std::string &b) const {
return a.length() < b.length(); // Compare by length
}
};
int main() {
std::set<:string customcomparator> mySet;
mySet.insert("apple");
mySet.insert("banana");
mySet.insert("kiwi");
for (const auto &item : mySet) {
std::cout << item << std::endl; // The output order will be based on string lengths
}
return 0;
}
