Unordered set is an associative container that contains a set of unique objects of type Key. Search, insertion, and removal have average constant-time complexity.

Internally, the elements are not sorted in any particular order, but organized into buckets. Which bucket an element is placed into depends entirely on the hash of its value. This allows fast access to individual elements, since once a hash is computed, it refers to the exact bucket the element is placed into.

Container elements may not be modified (even by non const iterators) since modification could change an element's hash and corrupt the container.

std::unordered_set meets the requirements of Container, AllocatorAwareContainer, UnorderedAssociativeContainer.

Member types

Member type Definition
key_type Key
value_type Key
size_type Unsigned integer type (usually std::size_t)
difference_type Signed integer type (usually std::ptrdiff_t)
hasher Hash
key_equal
KeyEqual (until C++20)
Hash::transparent_key_equal if defined and names a type, otherwise KeyEqual (since C++20)
allocator_type Allocator
reference value_type&
const_reference const value_type&
pointer std::allocator_traits<Allocator>::pointer
const_pointer std::allocator_traits<Allocator>::const_pointer
iterator Constant LegacyForwardIterator
const_iterator Constant LegacyForwardIterator
local_iterator An iterator type whose category, value, difference, pointer and
reference types are the same as iterator. This iterator
can be used to iterate through a single bucket but not across buckets
const_local_iterator An iterator type whose category, value, difference, pointer and
reference types are the same as const_iterator. This iterator
can be used to iterate through a single bucket but not across buckets
node_type(since C++17) a specialization of node handle representing a container node
insert_return_type(since C++17) type describing the result of inserting a node_type, a specialization of 
template <class Iter, class NodeType> struct /*unspecified*/ {
    Iter     position;
    bool     inserted;
    NodeType node;
};
instantiated with template arguments iterator and node_type.

(C++20)
 Erases all elements satisfying specific criteria
(function template)

Notes

The member types iterator and const_iterator may be aliases to the same type. Since iterator is convertible to const_iterator, const_iterator should be used in function parameter lists to avoid violations of the One Definition Rule.
