unordered_set operator!= in C++ STL

The != is a relational operator in C++ STL which compares the equality and inequality between unordered_set containers. The Comparison is done in the following procedure: 

1. First, the sizes are compared.
2. Then, each element in one of the containers is looked for in the other.

Syntax:

unordered_set1 != unordered_set2 

Parameters: This method takes the two unordered_set containers unordered_set1 and unordered_set2 as the parameters which are to be checked for equality.
Return Value: This method returns 

• true: if both the unordered_set containers on the left and right of the operator are not equal.
• false: if the unordered_set containers on the left and right of the operator are equal.

Below examples illustrate the != operator:
Example:

CPP

// C++ program to illustrate
// unordered_set operator!=

#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
#include <unordered_set>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    unordered_set<string>
        a = { "C++", "Java", "Python" },
        b = { "Java", "Python", "C++" },
        c = { "C#", "Python", "Java" };

    if (a != b) {
        cout << "a and b are not equal\n";
    }
    else {
        cout << "a and b are equal\n";
    }

    if (a != c) {
        cout << "a and c are not equal\n";
    }
    else {
        cout << "a and c are equal\n";
    }

    return 0;
}

Output:

a and b are equal
a and c are not equal

Time complexity: O(N)
