unordered_set::load_factor

Counts the average elements per bucket.

float load_factor() const;

Remarks

The member function returns (float)unordered_set::size() / (float)unordered_set::bucket_count(), the average number of elements per bucket.

Example

// compile with: /EHsc 
#include <unordered_set>

    c1.insert('c'); 
 
// display contents " [c] [b] [a]" 
    for (Myset::const_iterator it = c1.begin(); 
        it != c1.end(); ++it) 
        std::cout << " [" << *it << "]";
