For the definition of /*execution-policy*/, see this page; for the definition of /*sized-random-access-range*/, see this page.

Searches the source range for any of the elements in the target range. The elements (projected by proj1 and proj2 respectively) are compared using the binary predicate pred.

1) The source range is [first1last1), and the target range is [first2last2).
2) The source range is r1, and the target range is r2.
3,4) Same as (1,2), but executed according to policy.

The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids), that is:

Parameters

first1, last1 - the iterator-sentinel pair defining the source range
first2, last2 - the iterator-sentinel pair defining the target range
r1 - the source range
r2 - the target range
pred - the predicate to be applied to the (projected) elements
proj1 - the projection to be applied to the elements in the source range
proj2 - the projection to be applied to the elements in the target range
policy - the execution policy to use

Return value

Iterator to the first element in the source range that matches an element from the target range.

If the target range is empty or if no such element is found, returns:

1,3) last1
2,4) ranges::next(ranges::begin(r1), ranges::end(r1))

Complexity

Given \(\scriptsize N_1\)N1 as ranges::distance(first1, last1) or ranges::distance(r1), and \(\scriptsize N_2\)N2 as ranges::distance(first2, last2) or ranges::distance(r2):

1,2) At most \(\scriptsize N_1 \cdot N_2\)N1⋅N2 applications of pred and proj.
3,4) \(\scriptsize \mathcal{O}(N_1 \cdot N_2)\)𝓞(N1⋅N2) applications of pred and proj.

Exceptions

3,4) During the execution process:
  • If the temporary memory resources required for parallelization are not available, std::bad_alloc is thrown.
  • If an uncaught exception is thrown while accessing objects via an algorithm argument, the behavior is determined by the execution policy (for standard policies, std::terminate is invoked).

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>

int main()
{
    using std::ranges::find_first_of;
    
    constexpr static auto haystack = {1, 2, 3, 4};
    constexpr static auto needles  = {0, 3, 4, 3};
    
    constexpr auto found1 = find_first_of(haystack.begin(), haystack.end(),
                                          needles.begin(), needles.end());
    static_assert(std::distance(haystack.begin(), found1) == 2);
    
    constexpr auto found2 = 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 = find_first_of(haystack, negatives);
    static_assert(not_found == haystack.end());
    
    constexpr auto found3 = 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 = find_first_of(p1, p2, {}, &P::y, &P::y);
    std::cout << "First equivalent element {" << found4->x << ", " << found4->y
              << "} was found at position " << std::distance(p1.begin(), found4)
              << ".\n";
}

Output:

First equivalent element {3, -3} was found at position 2.
