Stl lower bound in set

#1

In this question, auto it gets the value 6, which is beyond the set index, then *it should return a garbage value right?
But the answer is 6, can you explain this?

#2

hello @niveditha_palli

in the case when the element being searched is greater than the maximum element in set the returned value (st.end()) is number of elements in the set which in this case is 6.

#3

So it gets value 6, but how is *it is 6?

#4

in above case we get iterator st.end() whose value ( i.e *st.end() ) is six.
