Stl lower_bound in set Q 7

#1

Why answer is not -garbage value but 6.
In my opinion if you do *( s.end() ) then answer should be a garbage value.
Please help me

#2

hello @Rhinorox
yeah it wil not be garbage value. *s.end()= number of elements in the set.

there are 6 elements in the set ,thatswhy answer should be 6.

#3

iterator *it is pointing to the s.end(_), means *it is pointing to the element coming after the last element in the set.

#4

So, you are basically telling me that the element coming after the last element of the set is the !!!total no of elements!!!

#5

yeah… . . … . … …

u can try on ur own by inserting some items.

#6

YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME THAT

#7

For set, s.end()=no. of elements; For vector, v.end()=0; For list, l.end(_)=some garbage value; Anyway thanks.
