end Ada.Containers.Ordered_Sets;

76/2

Two elements E1 and E2 are equivalent if both E1 < E2 and E2 < E1 return False, using the generic formal "<" operator for elements. Function Equivalent_Elements returns True if Left and Right are equivalent, and False otherwise.

77/2

The actual function for the generic formal function "<" on Element_Type values is expected to return the same value each time it is called with a particular pair of key values. It should define a strict ordering relationship, that is, be irreflexive, asymmetric, and transitive. If the actual for "<" behaves in some other manner, the behavior of this package is unspecified. Which subprograms of this package call "<" and how many times they call it, is unspecified.

78/2

If the value of an element stored in a set is changed other than by an operation in this package such that at least one of "<" or "=" give different results, the behavior of this package is unspecified.

79/2

The first element of a nonempty set is the one which is less than all the other elements in the set. The last element of a nonempty set is the one which is greater than all the other elements in the set. The successor of an element is the smallest element that is larger than the given element. The predecessor of an element is the largest element that is smaller than the given element. All comparisons are done using the generic formal "<" operator for elements.

80/2

procedure Delete_First (Container : in out Set);

81/2

If Container is empty, Delete_First has no effect. Otherwise the element designated by First (Container) is removed from Container. Delete_First tampers with the cursors of Container.

82/2

procedure Delete_Last (Container : in out Set);

83/2

If Container is empty, Delete_Last has no effect. Otherwise the element designated by Last (Container) is removed from Container. Delete_Last tampers with the cursors of Container.

84/2

function First_Element (Container : Set) return Element_Type;

85/2

Equivalent to Element (First (Container)).

86/2

function Last (Container : Set) return Cursor;

87/2

Returns a cursor that designates the last element in Container. If Container is empty, returns No_Element.

88/2

function Last_Element (Container : Set) return Element_Type;

89/2

Equivalent to Element (Last (Container)).

90/2

function Previous (Position : Cursor) return Cursor;

91/2

If Position equals No_Element, then Previous returns No_Element. Otherwise Previous returns a cursor designating the element that precedes the one designated by Position. If Position designates the first element, then Previous returns No_Element.

92/2

procedure Previous (Position : in out Cursor);

93/2

Equivalent to Position := Previous (Position).

94/2

function Floor (Container : Set; Item : Element_Type) return Cursor;

95/2

Floor searches for the last element which is not greater than Item. If such an element is found, a cursor that designates it is returned. Otherwise No_Element is returned.

96/2

function Ceiling (Container : Set; Item : Element_Type) return Cursor;

97/2

Ceiling searches for the first element which is not less than Item. If such an element is found, a cursor that designates it is returned. Otherwise No_Element is returned.

98/2

function "<" (Left, Right : Cursor) return Boolean;

99/2

Equivalent to Element (Left) < Element (Right).

100/2

function ">" (Left, Right : Cursor) return Boolean;

101/2

Equivalent to Element (Right) < Element (Left).

102/2

function "<" (Left : Cursor; Right : Element_Type) return Boolean;

103/2

Equivalent to Element (Left) < Right.

104/2

function ">" (Left : Cursor; Right : Element_Type) return Boolean;

105/2

Equivalent to Right < Element (Left).

106/2

function "<" (Left : Element_Type; Right : Cursor) return Boolean;

107/2

Equivalent to Left < Element (Right).

108/2

function ">" (Left : Element_Type; Right : Cursor) return Boolean;

109/2

Equivalent to Element (Right) < Left.

110/2

procedure Reverse_Iterate (Container : in Set; Process : not null access procedure (Position : in Cursor));

111/2

Iterates over the elements in Container as per Iterate, with the difference that the elements are traversed in predecessor order, starting with the last element.

112/2

For any two elements E1 and E2, the boolean values (E1 < E2) and (Key(E1) < Key(E2)) are expected to be equal. If the actuals for Key or Generic_Keys."<" behave in some other manner, the behavior of this package is unspecified. Which subprograms of this package call Key and Generic_Keys."<", and how many times the functions are called, is unspecified.

113/2

In addition to the semantics described in A.18.7, the subprograms in package Generic_Keys named Floor and Ceiling, are equivalent to the corresponding subprograms in the parent package, with the difference that the Key subprogram parameter is compared to elements in the container using the Key and "<" generic formal functions. The function named Equivalent_Keys in package Generic_Keys returns True if both Left < Right and Right < Left return False using the generic formal "<" operator, and returns True otherwise.

Implementation Advice

114/2

If N is the length of a set, then the worst-case time complexity of the Insert, Include, Replace, Delete, Exclude and Find operations that take an element parameter should be O((log N)**2) or better. The worst-case time complexity of the subprograms that take a cursor parameter should be O(1).
