Example

The following example shows the usage of std::unordered_set::size.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <unordered_set>

int main () {
   std::unordered_set<std::string> myset;
   std::cout << "0. size: " << myset.size() << std::endl;

   myset = {"sairamkrishna","mammahe"};
   std::cout << "1. size: " << myset.size() << std::endl;

   myset.insert ("kittuprasad");
   std::cout << "2. size: " << myset.size() << std::endl;

   myset.erase ("tutorialspoint");
   std::cout << "3. size: " << myset.size() << std::endl;

   return 0;
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

0. size: 0
1. size: 2
2. size: 3
3. size: 3
