 (6) (since C++20)

Returns the first element in the range [first, last) that satisfies specific criteria:

1) find searches for an element equal to value.
3) find_if searches for an element for which predicate pred returns true.
5) find_if_not searches for an element for which predicate pred returns false.
2,4,6) Same as (1,3,5), but uses r as the source range, as if using ranges::begin(r) as first and ranges::end(r) as last.

The function-like entities described on this page are niebloids, that is:

In practice, they may be implemented as function objects, or with special compiler extensions.

Parameters

first, last - the range of elements to examine
r - the range of the elements to examine
value - value to compare the elements to
pred - predicate to apply to the projected elements
proj - projection to apply to the elements

Return value

Iterator to the first element satisfying the condition or iterator equal to last if no such element is found.

Complexity

At most last - first applications of the predicate and projection.

Example

Run this code
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
 
int main()
{
    namespace ranges = std::ranges;
 
    const int n1 = 3;
    const int n2 = 5;
    const auto v = {4, 1, 3, 2};
 
    if (ranges::find(v, n1) != v.end())
        std::cout << "v contains: " << n1 << '\n';
    else
        std::cout << "v does not contain: " << n1 << '\n';
 
    if (ranges::find(v.begin(), v.end(), n2) != v.end())
        std::cout << "v contains: " << n2 << '\n';
    else
        std::cout << "v does not contain: " << n2 << '\n';
 
    auto is_even = [](int x) { return x % 2 == 0; };
 
    if (auto result = ranges::find_if(v.begin(), v.end(), is_even); result != v.end())
        std::cout << "First even element in v: " << *result << '\n';
    else
        std::cout << "No even elements in v\n";
 
    if (auto result = ranges::find_if_not(v, is_even); result != v.end())
        std::cout << "First odd element in v: " << *result << '\n';
    else
        std::cout << "No odd elements in v\n";
 
    auto divides_13 = [](int x) { return x % 13 == 0; };
 
    if (auto result = ranges::find_if(v, divides_13); result != v.end())
        std::cout << "First element divisible by 13 in v: " << *result << '\n';
    else
        std::cout << "No elements in v are divisible by 13\n";
 
    if (auto result = ranges::find_if_not(v.begin(), v.end(), divides_13);
        result != v.end())
        std::cout << "First element indivisible by 13 in v: " << *result << '\n';
    else
        std::cout << "All elements in v are divisible by 13\n";
}

Output: 

v contains: 3
v does not contain: 5
First even element in v: 4
First odd element in v: 1
No elements in v are divisible by 13
First element indivisible by 13 in v: 4
