# Struct collections::btree_set::BTreeSet 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    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);
    }Run

## Methods

### `impl<T: Ord> BTreeSet<T>`
[src]

#### `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();Run

### `impl<T> BTreeSet<T>`
[src]

#### `fn iter(&self) -> Iter<T>`

Gets an iterator that visits the values in the `BTreeSet` in ascending order.

# Examples

    use std::collections::BTreeSet;

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

Values returned by the iterator are returned in ascending order:

    use std::collections::BTreeSet;

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

### `impl<T: Ord> BTreeSet<T>`
[src]

#### `fn range<K: ?Sized, R>(&self, range: R) -> Range<T> where K: Ord, T: Borrow<K>, R: RangeArgument<K>`
1.17.0

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::collections::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());Run

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

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

# Examples

    use std::collections::BTreeSet;

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

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

    let sym_diff: Vec<_> = a.symmetric_difference(&b).cloned().collect();
    assert_eq!(sym_diff, [1, 3]);Run

#### `fn intersection<'a>(&'a self, other: &'a BTreeSet<T>) -> Intersection<'a, T>`

Visits the values representing the intersection, i.e. the values that are both in `self` and `other`, in ascending order.

# Examples

    use std::collections::BTreeSet;

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

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

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

#### `fn union<'a>(&'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!(v.len(), 1);Run

#### `fn is_empty(&self) -> bool`

Returns `true` if the set contains no elements.

# Examples

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

#### `fn clear(&mut self)`

Clears the set, removing all values.

# Examples

    let mut v = BTreeSet::new();
    v.insert(1);
    v.clear();
    assert!(v.is_empty());Run

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

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

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

1.9.0

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.

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

Returns `true` if `self` has no elements in common with `other`. This is equivalent to checking for an empty intersection.

# 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);

    assert_eq!(a.is_disjoint(&b), false);Run

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

Returns `true` if the set is a subset of another, i.e. `other` contains at least all the values in `self`.

# 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);

    set.insert(0);
    set.insert(1);
    assert_eq!(set.is_superset(&sub), false);

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

#### `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);

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

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

Removes a value from the set. Returns `true` if 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);Run

#### `fn take<Q: ?Sized>(&mut self, value: &Q) -> Option<T> where T: Borrow<Q>, Q: Ord`
1.9.0

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.

#### `fn append(&mut self, other: &mut Self)`
1.11.0

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));Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
