extracting data from std::set<string>

[Rene Ivon Shamberger]

I am trying to extract data from a set container, but to no avail. This is what I have done.
int main(){
std::set<const std::string> data;
data.insert("one");
data.insert("two");
data.insert("three");
int counter = 0;

std::set<std::string>::iterator it;
for (it = data.begin(); it != data.end(); it++) {
counter++;
std::cout << *it;
}
return 0;
}

here's your problem:

std::set<const std::string> data;

The STL allocates objects using C++'s allocators, which only store non-
const, non-reference object types. You are trying to allocate a const-
object type. Hence, the flood of compiler errors you should be getting from
this.

Replace the above with:

std::set<std::string> data;

and everything will work fine.

While you are at it, use const iterators to enforce the object's const-ness.
So, replace:

std::set<std::string>::iterator it;

with


std::set<std::string>::const_iterator it;


Hope this helps,

I see a 'const'.

[snip]

std::set<std::string>::iterator it;
for (it = data.begin(); it != data.end(); it++) {

I don't see a 'const' here.

Just lose 'const' in the definition of 'data'.

PS.: Next time think about including a description of what exactly does not work as expected, possibly including compiler error messages.
