Let's say you have a set of integers called nums, and you want to sort them based on certain criteria, such as frequency and value. Here's a brief code snippet demonstrating how you can achieve this:
const int N = 1e5 + 1;
int fr[N] = {};
// Define a custom sorting criterion
struct sortCri {
bool operator()(int a, int b) const {
// Customize the sorting order here
if (fr[a] == fr[b]) return a > b; // Sort values in descending order
else return fr[a] < fr[b]; // Sort frequencies in ascending order
}
};
// Create a set using the custom sorting criterion
set<int, sortCri> nums;
In the code above, we have a set called nums that will sort elements based on the criteria defined in the sortCri struct. In this example, we sort in ascending order of frequency (fr[a]) and in descending order of values (a).
You can easily adapt this code to your specific sorting requirements by modifying the conditions inside the operator() function within the sortCri struct.
