std::ranges::find_first_of

Since C++20

Header: <algorithm>

  1. Searches the range [first1,last1) for any of the elements in the range [first2,last2), after projecting the ranges with proj1 and proj2 respectively. The projected elements are compared using the binary predicate pred.

# Parameters

# Return value

Iterator to the first element in the range [first1,last1) that is equal to an element from the range [first2,last2) after projection. If no such element is found, an iterator comparing equal to last1 is returned.

# Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
 
int main()
{
    namespace rng = std::ranges;
 
    constexpr static auto haystack = {1, 2, 3, 4};
    constexpr static auto needles  = {0, 3, 4, 3};
 
    constexpr auto found1 = rng::find_first_of(haystack.begin(), haystack.end(),
                                               needles.begin(), needles.end());
    static_assert(std::distance(haystack.begin(), found1) == 2);
 
    constexpr auto found2 = rng::find_first_of(haystack, needles);
    static_assert(std::distance(haystack.begin(), found2) == 2);
 
    constexpr static auto negatives = {-6, -3, -4, -3};
    constexpr auto not_found = rng::find_first_of(haystack, negatives);
    static_assert(not_found == haystack.end());
 
    constexpr auto found3 = rng::find_first_of(haystack, negatives,
        [](int x, int y) { return x == -y; }); // uses a binary comparator
    static_assert(std::distance(haystack.begin(), found3) == 2);
 
    struct P { int x, y; };
    constexpr static auto p1 = {P{1, -1}, P{2, -2}, P{3, -3}, P{4, -4}};
    constexpr static auto p2 = {P{5, -5}, P{6, -3}, P{7, -5}, P{8, -3}};
 
    // Compare only P::y data members by projecting them:
    const auto found4 = rng::find_first_of(p1, p2, {}, &P::y, &P::y);
    std::cout << "First equivalent element {" << found4->x << ", " << found4->y
