#
Let comp be less{}, and proj1 and proj2 be identity{} for the overloads with no parameters by those names.
2
#
Preconditions: The ranges [first1, last1) and [first2, last2) are sorted with respect to comp and proj1 or proj2, respectively.
The resulting range does not overlap with either of the original ranges.
3
#
Effects: Copies the elements of the range [first1, last1) which are not present in the range [first2, last2) to the range beginning at result.
The elements in the constructed range are sorted.
4
#
Returns: Let result_­last be the end of the constructed range.
Returns
  • (4.1)
    result_­last for the overloads in namespace std.
  • (4.2)
    {last1, result_­last} for the overloads in namespace ranges.
5
#
Complexity: At most 2 * ((last1 - first1) + (last2 - first2)) - 1 comparisons and applications of each projection.
6
#
Remarks: If [first1, last1) contains m elements that are equivalent to each other and [first2, last2) contains n elements that are equivalent to them, the last elements from [first1, last1) is copied to the output range, in order.
