My Big Problem !
By _Ramtin_, history, 8 years ago, In English

Hi everyone , I have a question which i faced a lot while implementing a problem and i usually handled it with segment tree but i think it must have an easier way

think that u have a set s

i want to find out number x position in this set

more formally i want s.find(x) — s.begin()

but c++ set can't handle this ! what should i do ? is there any way without using other structures to solve this ?

      Be aware that distance function wouldn't be constant-time while given bidirectional iterators.

If there are many such 'queries', then transform std::set into a vector. Vector supports upper_bound/lower_bound functions and by subtracting v.begin() you can get the index.

    nope i needed an online sorted array for those problems and vector couldn't do that :)

      Then you will have to write your own treap. I assume that distance works in linear time and is almost completely useless in your case.

      There are ways to use g++ order statistic tree if you really need it.
