## Description

flat_set is a Sorted Associative Container that stores objects of type Key. flat_set is a Simple Associative Container, meaning that its value type, as well as its key type, is Key. It is also a Unique Associative Container, meaning that no two elements are the same.

flat_set is similar to std::set but it's implemented like an ordered vector. This means that inserting a new element into a flat_set invalidates previous iterators and references

Erasing an element of a flat_set invalidates iterators and references pointing to elements that come after (their keys are bigger) the erased element.

### `flat_set` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     explicit flat_set();

   Effects: Default constructs an empty `flat_set`.

   Complexity: Constant.

2.     explicit flat_set(const Compare & comp,
                         const allocator_type & a = allocator_type());

   Effects: Constructs an empty `flat_set` using the specified comparison object and allocator.

   Complexity: Constant.

3.     template<typename InputIterator>
         flat_set(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,
                  const Compare & comp = Compare(),
                  const allocator_type & a = allocator_type());

   Effects: Constructs an empty set using the specified comparison object and allocator, and inserts elements from the range [first ,last ).

   Complexity: Linear in N if the range [first ,last ) is already sorted using comp and otherwise N logN, where N is last - first.

4.     template<typename InputIterator>
         flat_set(ordered_unique_range_t, InputIterator first, InputIterator last,
                  const Compare & comp = Compare(),
                  const allocator_type & a = allocator_type());

   Effects: Constructs an empty `flat_set` using the specified comparison object and allocator, and inserts elements from the ordered unique range [first ,last). This function is more efficient than the normal range creation for ordered ranges.

   Requires: [first ,last) must be ordered according to the predicate and must be unique values.

   Complexity: Linear in N.

   Note: Non-standard extension.

5.     flat_set(const flat_set & x);

   Effects: Copy constructs a set.

   Complexity: Linear in x.size().

6.     flat_set(BOOST_RV_REF(flat_set) mx);

   Effects: Move constructs a set. Constructs *this using x's resources.

   Complexity: Constant.

   Postcondition: x is emptied.

7.     flat_set(const flat_set & x, const allocator_type & a);

   Effects: Copy constructs a set using the specified allocator.

   Complexity: Linear in x.size().

8.     flat_set(BOOST_RV_REF(flat_set) mx, const allocator_type & a);

   Effects: Move constructs a set using the specified allocator. Constructs *this using x's resources.

   Complexity: Constant if a == mx.get_allocator(), linear otherwise

9.     flat_set& operator=(BOOST_COPY_ASSIGN_REF(flat_set) x);

   Effects: Makes *this a copy of x.

   Complexity: Linear in x.size().

10.     flat_set& operator=(BOOST_RV_REF(flat_set) mx);

    Effects: Makes *this a copy of the previous value of xx.

    Complexity: Linear in x.size().

          iterator emplace_hint(const_iterator hint, Args &&... args);

                                           this-> priv_insert);

    Effects: Inserts a copy of x in the container if and only if there is no element in the container with key equivalent to the key of x. p is a hint pointing to where the insert should start to search.

    Returns: An iterator pointing to the element with key equivalent to the key of x.

    Complexity: Logarithmic search time (constant if x is inserted right before p) plus insertion linear to the elements with bigger keys than x.

    Note: If an element is inserted it might invalidate elements.

32.     iterator insert(const_iterator position, value_type && x);

    Effects: Inserts an element move constructed from x in the container. p is a hint pointing to where the insert should start to search.

    Returns: An iterator pointing to the element with key equivalent to the key of x.

    Complexity: Logarithmic search time (constant if x is inserted right before p) plus insertion linear to the elements with bigger keys than x.

    Requires: first, last are not iterators into *this.

    Effects: inserts each element from the range [first,last) if and only if there is no element with key equivalent to the key of that element.

    Complexity: At most N log(size()+N) (N is the distance from first to last) search time plus N*size() insertion time.

    Note: If an element is inserted it might invalidate elements.

34.     const_iterator equal_range(const key_type & x) const;

35.     std::pair< iterator, iterator > equal_range(const key_type & x);
