Given two vectors, join these two vectors using STL in C++.
Example:
Input:
vec1 = {1, 45, 54, 71, 76, 12},
vec2 = {1, 7, 5, 4, 6, 12}
Output: {1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 45, 54, 71, 76}
Input:
vec1 = {1, 7, 5, 4, 6, 12},
vec2 = {10, 12, 11}
Output: {1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12}
Approach: Joining can be done with the help of set_union() function provided in STL.
Syntax:
set_union (InputIterator1 first1, InputIterator1 last1,
InputIterator2 first2, InputIterator2 last2,
OutputIterator result);
CPP
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
vector< int > vector1 = { 1, 45, 54, 71, 76, 12 };
vector< int > vector2 = { 1, 7, 5, 4, 6, 12 };
sort(vector1.begin(), vector1.end());
sort(vector2.begin(), vector2.end());
cout << "First Vector: " ;
for ( int i = 0; i < vector1.size(); i++)
cout << vector1[i] << " " ;
cout << endl;
cout << "Second Vector: " ;
for ( int i = 0; i < vector2.size(); i++)
cout << vector2[i] << " " ;
cout << endl;
vector< int > v(vector1.size() + vector2.size());
vector< int >::iterator it, st;
it = set_union(vector1.begin(),
vector1.end(),
vector2.begin(),
vector2.end(),
v.begin());
cout << "\nAfter joining:\n" ;
for (st = v.begin(); st != it; ++st)
cout << *st << ", " ;
cout << '\n' ;
return 0;
}
|
Output:
First Vector: 1 12 45 54 71 76
Second Vector: 1 4 5 6 7 12
After joining:
1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 45, 54, 71, 76,
Note that the vector should not contain 1 element twice:

In case you enter same elements, the set_union function will only consider 1 instance of the element, and default rest to 0.
