Functions

template<typename ExPolicy, typename FwdIter, typename T>
util::detail::algorithm_result_t<ExPolicy, FwdIter> find(ExPolicy &&policy, FwdIter first, FwdIter last, T const &val)#

Returns the first element in the range [first, last) that is equal to value. Executed according to the policy.

The comparison operations in the parallel find algorithm invoked with an execution policy object of type sequenced_policy execute in sequential order in the calling thread.

The comparison operations in the parallel find algorithm invoked with an execution policy object of type parallel_policy or parallel_task_policy are permitted to execute in an unordered fashion in unspecified threads, and indeterminately sequenced within each thread.

Note

Complexity: At most last - first applications of the operator==().

Template Parameters
  • ExPolicy – The type of the execution policy to use (deduced). It describes the manner in which the execution of the algorithm may be parallelized and the manner in which it executes the assignments.

  • FwdIter – The type of the source iterators used for the first range (deduced). This iterator type must meet the requirements of an forward iterator.

  • T – The type of the value to find (deduced).

Parameters
