Element at index in a std::set?

Question

I\'ve stumbled upon this problem: I can\'t seem to select the item at the index\' position in a normal std::set. Is this a bug in STD?

Below a simple ex

Answer 1

  std::set my_set;
  my_set.insert(0x4A);
  my_set.insert(0x4F);
  my_set.insert(0x4B);
  my_set.insert(0x45);

  int arr[my_set.size()];

  set::iterator it = my_set.begin();
  for (int i = 0; i < my_set.size(); i++) {
    arr[i] = *it;
    it++;
  }
  cout << arr[0];

Edit: Edited code. You can't access set using index but the above method would provide an "index" i if you want to copy the elements from set into an array, provided you have created an array of sufficient size before hand.
