Thread: set Insert the customizedCLass not working as expected with pointer

Hi,

I have a class(Territory) which has two fields string(name) and int(ID).
set<Territory>setTerritories ////Insertion is as expected.It isn't insert duplicate
[code]set<Territory*>setTerritories; [code] //Insertion is not as expected. This inserts duplicate

i have a operator overloading to insert the customized class into the set.But it isn't called for the set<Territory*>. I am missing something here.but not sure.

Code:

bool operator<(const Territory& rhs) const {
        if (this->m_strName < rhs.m_strName)
        {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

so please find my running code in the attachment and guide me .

“Truth can only be found in one place: the code.”

Thank you.It's working now

Code:

struct customCompare {
     bool operator()(const Territory* lhs, const Territory* rhs)const {
        return lhs->getTerritoryId() < rhs->getTerritoryId();
    }        
};

    {
        set<Territory*,customCompare>setTerritories;

        std:pair<set<Territory*>::iterator, bool> insertStatus;

        insertStatus = setTerritories.insert(new Territory("Ajanta", 3));
        if (insertStatus.second == false)
        {
            cout << "Insertion new Territory("Ajanta",3) failed" << endl;
        }

        insertStatus = setTerritories.insert(new Territory("Ellora", 5));
        if (insertStatus.second == false)
        {
            cout << "Insertion new Territory("Ellora",5) failed" << endl;
        }
        insertStatus = setTerritories.insert(new Territory("Ajanta", 3));
        if (insertStatus.second == false)
        {
            cout << "Insertion new Territory("Ajanta",3) failed" << endl;
        }
    }
