Struct std::collections::BTreeSet

pub struct BTreeSet<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

A set based on a B-Tree.

See BTreeMap's documentation for a detailed discussion of this collection's performance benefits and drawbacks.

It is a logic error for an item to be modified in such a way that the item's ordering relative to any other item, as determined by the Ord trait, changes while it is in the set. This is normally only possible through Cell, RefCell, global state, I/O, or unsafe code.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

// Type inference lets us omit an explicit type signature (which
// would be `BTreeSet<&str>` in this example).
let mut books = BTreeSet::new();

// Add some books.
books.insert("A Dance With Dragons");
books.insert("To Kill a Mockingbird");
books.insert("The Odyssey");
books.insert("The Great Gatsby");

// Check for a specific one.
if !books.contains("The Winds of Winter") {
    println!("We have {} books, but The Winds of Winter ain't one.",
             books.len());
}

// Remove a book.
books.remove("The Odyssey");

// Iterate over everything.
for book in &books {
    println!("{}", book);
}

Methods

impl<T> BTreeSet<T> where
    T: Ord, 

pub fn new() -> BTreeSet<T>

Makes a new BTreeSet with a reasonable choice of B.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut set: BTreeSet<i32> = BTreeSet::new();

Important traits for Range<'a, T>

impl<'a, T> Iterator for Range<'a, T> type Item = &'a T;

pub fn range<K, R>(&self, range: R) -> Range<T> where
    K: Ord + ?Sized,
    R: RangeBounds<K>,
    T: Borrow<K>, 

Constructs a double-ended iterator over a sub-range of elements in the set. The simplest way is to use the range syntax min..max, thus range(min..max) will yield elements from min (inclusive) to max (exclusive). The range may also be entered as (Bound<T>, Bound<T>), so for example range((Excluded(4), Included(10))) will yield a left-exclusive, right-inclusive range from 4 to 10.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;
use std::ops::Bound::Included;

let mut set = BTreeSet::new();
set.insert(3);
set.insert(5);
set.insert(8);
for &elem in set.range((Included(&4), Included(&8))) {
    println!("{}", elem);
}
assert_eq!(Some(&5), set.range(4..).next());

Important traits for Difference<'a, T>

impl<'a, T> Iterator for Difference<'a, T> where

Important traits for SymmetricDifference<'a, T>

impl<'a, T> Iterator for SymmetricDifference<'a, T> where
    T: Ord,  type Item = &'a T;

pub fn symmetric_difference(
    &'a self,
    other: &'a BTreeSet<T>
) -> SymmetricDifference<'a, T>

let mut b = BTreeSet::new();
b.insert(2);
b.insert(3);

Important traits for Union<'a, T>

impl<'a, T> Iterator for Union<'a, T> where
    T: Ord,  type Item = &'a T;

pub fn union(&'a self, other: &'a BTreeSet<T>) -> Union<'a, T>

Visits the values representing the union, i.e., all the values in self or other, without duplicates, in ascending order.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut a = BTreeSet::new();
a.insert(1);

let mut b = BTreeSet::new();
b.insert(2);

let union: Vec<_> = a.union(&b).cloned().collect();
assert_eq!(union, [1, 2]);

pub fn clear(&mut self)

Clears the set, removing all values.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut v = BTreeSet::new();

v.clear();
assert!(v.is_empty());

pub fn contains<Q>(&self, value: &Q) -> bool where
    Q: Ord + ?Sized,
    T: Borrow<Q>, 

Returns true if the set contains a value.

The value may be any borrowed form of the set's value type, but the ordering on the borrowed form must match the ordering on the value type.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let set: BTreeSet<_> = [1, 2, 3].iter().cloned().collect();
assert_eq!(set.contains(&1), true);

    Q: Ord + ?Sized,
    T: Borrow<Q>, 

Returns a reference to the value in the set, if any, that is equal to the given value.

The value may be any borrowed form of the set's value type, but the ordering on the borrowed form must match the ordering on the value type.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let set: BTreeSet<_> = [1, 2, 3].iter().cloned().collect();
assert_eq!(set.get(&2), Some(&2));
assert_eq!(set.get(&4), None);

pub fn is_disjoint(&self, other: &BTreeSet<T>) -> bool

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let a: BTreeSet<_> = [1, 2, 3].iter().cloned().collect();
let mut b = BTreeSet::new();

assert_eq!(a.is_disjoint(&b), true);
b.insert(4);
assert_eq!(a.is_disjoint(&b), true);
b.insert(1);
assert_eq!(a.is_disjoint(&b), false);

pub fn is_subset(&self, other: &BTreeSet<T>) -> bool

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let sup: BTreeSet<_> = [1, 2, 3].iter().cloned().collect();
let mut set = BTreeSet::new();

assert_eq!(set.is_subset(&sup), true);

let mut set = BTreeSet::new();

assert_eq!(set.is_superset(&sub), false);

assert_eq!(set.is_superset(&sub), false);

set.insert(2);
assert_eq!(set.is_superset(&sub), true);

pub fn insert(&mut self, value: T) -> bool

Adds a value to the set.

If the set did not have this value present, true is returned.

If the set did have this value present, false is returned, and the entry is not updated. See the module-level documentation for more.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut set = BTreeSet::new();

assert_eq!(set.insert(2), true);
assert_eq!(set.insert(2), false);
assert_eq!(set.len(), 1);

pub fn replace(&mut self, value: T) -> Option<T>

Adds a value to the set, replacing the existing value, if any, that is equal to the given one. Returns the replaced value.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut set = BTreeSet::new();
set.insert(Vec::<i32>::new());

assert_eq!(set.get(&[][..]).unwrap().capacity(), 0);
set.replace(Vec::with_capacity(10));
assert_eq!(set.get(&[][..]).unwrap().capacity(), 10);

pub fn remove<Q>(&mut self, value: &Q) -> bool where
    Q: Ord + ?Sized,
    T: Borrow<Q>, 

Removes a value from the set. Returns whether the value was present in the set.

The value may be any borrowed form of the set's value type, but the ordering on the borrowed form must match the ordering on the value type.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut set = BTreeSet::new();

set.insert(2);
assert_eq!(set.remove(&2), true);
assert_eq!(set.remove(&2), false);

pub fn take<Q>(&mut self, value: &Q) -> Option<T> where
    Q: Ord + ?Sized,
    T: Borrow<Q>, 

Removes and returns the value in the set, if any, that is equal to the given one.

The value may be any borrowed form of the set's value type, but the ordering on the borrowed form must match the ordering on the value type.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut set: BTreeSet<_> = [1, 2, 3].iter().cloned().collect();
assert_eq!(set.take(&2), Some(2));
assert_eq!(set.take(&2), None);

pub fn append(&mut self, other: &mut BTreeSet<T>)

Moves all elements from other into Self, leaving other empty.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut a = BTreeSet::new();
a.insert(1);
a.insert(2);
a.insert(3);

let mut b = BTreeSet::new();
b.insert(3);
b.insert(4);
b.insert(5);

a.append(&mut b);

assert_eq!(a.len(), 5);
assert_eq!(b.len(), 0);

assert!(a.contains(&1));
assert!(a.contains(&2));
assert!(a.contains(&3));
assert!(a.contains(&4));
assert!(a.contains(&5));

pub fn split_off<Q>(&mut self, key: &Q) -> BTreeSet<T> where
    Q: Ord + ?Sized,
    T: Borrow<Q>,

Examples

Basic usage:

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut a = BTreeSet::new();
a.insert(1);
a.insert(2);
a.insert(3);
a.insert(17);
a.insert(41);

let b = a.split_off(&3);

assert_eq!(a.len(), 2);
assert_eq!(b.len(), 3);

assert!(a.contains(&1));
assert!(a.contains(&2));

assert!(b.contains(&3));
assert!(b.contains(&17));
assert!(b.contains(&41));
