Get std::set comparison as function parameter / complemet of a set without universal set

Question

I have this .cpp file and I have to write the methods set_union, subset, complement, and contains. My two problem is first: How can I have a complement without a universal set and how will ("Hi","Hello","Aloha","Ciao") sets complement give "C++" as a member.

Second with the set a and x it gives me an error :

no instance of constructor "set_operations<T>::set_operations [with T=std::string]" matches the argument list -- argument types are: (std::set<std::string, string_size_less, std::allocator<std::string>>)

and

no suitable user-defined conversion from "std::set<std::string, std::greater< std::string>, std::allocator< std::string>>" to "std::set<std::string, std::less< std::string>, std::allocator< std::string>>" exists

How can I get the sets comparison as function parameter?
