The C++ function std::algorithm::find() finds the first occurrence of the element. It uses operator = for comparison.
DeclarationFollowing is the declaration for std::algorithm::find() function form std::algorithm header.
C++98template <class InputIterator, class T> InputIterator find (InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const T& val);Parameters
first − Input iterator to the initial position.
last − Input iterator to the final position.
val − Value to compare the elements.
If element found it returns an iterator pointing to the first occurrence of the element otherwise returns last.
ExceptionsThrows exception if either element comparison or an operation on an iterator throws exception.
Please note that invalid parameters cause undefined behavior.
Time complexityLinear.
ExampleThe following example shows the usage of std::algorithm::find() function.
#include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; int main(void) { int val = 5; vector<int> v = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; auto result = find(v.begin(), v.end(), val); if (result != end(v)) cout << "Vector contains element " << val << endl; val = 15; result = find(v.begin(), v.end(), val); if (result == end(v)) cout << "Vector doesn't contain element " << val << endl; return 0; }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Vector contains element 5 Vector doesn't contain element 15
