rder of iteration over a map or a set

[Hendrik Schober]

Hi,

if I iterate over a map or a set, is the order
specified in which the elements are traversed?

TIA,

Schobi

Yes, the order will be in ascending order of keys.

Yes, the order will be in ascending order of keys.

An additional comment to the OP: What "ascending" means in this context
depends on the sorting criterion, for which a default value (less) is
supplied.

Thanks. I think I knew that. I was just
wondering whether implementations are
required to traverser their trees in
this order.
