Can anyone please post a short example of using the set_union algorithm on two set objects that places the result in a third set. Sort of... set s1; set s2; set result; set_union(s1.begin(), s1.end(), s2.begin(), s2.end(), result.end()); My compiler refuses to compile this due to the result.end() iterator being returned as a const_iterator. So far I have worked around this by putting the result into a vector and afterwards I coerce the results back into a set again. This seems like a kludge to me so I thought I would try to get some guru type guidance here? So just how do I go about using set_union with set objects? -- Nicholas J Biggs Principle Analyst Programmer Work: mailto:njb1441@ggr.co.uk Home: mailto:snark@pawn.demon.co.uk -- --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
