C++ find_if

 

find_if

function template

template <class InputIterator, class Predicate> InputIterator find_if ( InputIterator first, InputIterator last, Predicate pred );

Find element in range

Returns an iterator to the first element in the range [first,last) for which applying pred to it, is true.

The behavior of this function template is equivalent to:

template<class InputIterator, class Predicate> InputIterator find_if ( InputIterator first, InputIterator last, Predicate pred ) { for ( ; first!=last ; first++ ) if ( pred(*first) ) break; return first; } 

Parameters

first, last

Input iterators to the initial and final positions in a sequence. The range used is  [first,last), which contains all the elements between  first and  last, including the element pointed by  first but not the element pointed by  last.

pred

Unary predicate taking an element in the range as argument, and returning a value indicating the falsehood (with  false, or a zero value) or truth ( true, or non-zero) of some condition applied to it. This can either be a pointer to a function or an object whose class overloads  operator().

 

Return value

An iterator to the first element in the range for which the application of pred to it does not return false (zero).
If pred is false for all elements, the function returns last.
