How to use the set::swap, set::begin and set::end Standard Template Library (STL) functions in Visual C++

   <set>

   template<class _K, class _Pr, class _A>
   class set {
   public:
   // Function 1:

      void swap(_Myt& _X);
   // Function 2:
      friend void swap(_Myt& _X, _Myt& _Y);
   // Function 3:
      const_iterator begin() const;
   // Function 4:
      const_iterator end() const;
   }

// SetSwapBeginEnd.cpp:
//      Illustrates how to use the swap function to exchange the two
//      controlled sequences. It also illustrates how to use the
//      begin function to get a bidirectional iterator that points at
//      the first element of the controlled sequence. Finally, it
//      illustrates how to use the end function to get a bidirectional
//      iterator that points just beyond the end of the controlled
//      sequence.
// 
// Functions:
// 
//    swap        Exchanges the two controlled sequences.
//    begin       Returns a bidirectional iterator that points at the
//                first element of the controlled sequence.
//    end         Returns a bidirectional iterator that points just
//                beyond the end of the controlled sequence.
