How to find out if an item is present in an std vector

0 votes
All I want to do is see if an element in the vector exists or not, so I can deal with each instance individually.

The most straightforward solution is to count the total number of elements in the vector that have the specified value. 

If the count is greater than zero, we've found our element. 

This is simple to accomplish with the std::count function.

#include <iostream>

#include <vector>

#include <algorithm>


int main()

{

    std::vector<int> v = { 4, 7, 5, 2, 6, 9 };

    int key = 6;


    if (std::count(v.begin(), v.end(), key)) {

        std::cout << "Element found";

    }

    else {

        std::cout << "Element not found";

    }


    return 0;

}

What is this weird colon-member (" : ") syntax in the constructor?

Foo(int num): bar(num) In C++, this is known as a Member Initializer List. Simply put, it sets the value of your member bar to num. There is a significant difference between initializing a member with the Member initializer list and assigning a value to it within the function Object() { [native code] } body. When you use the Member initializer list to initialise fields, the constructors are only called once, and the object is constructed and initialised in a single operation. If you use assignment, the fields will be initialised with default constructors and then reassigned with actual values (via the assignment operator). As you can see, there is an extra overhead of creation and assignment in the latter, which may be significant for user defined classes. Cost of Member Initialization =Object ...READ MORE

Why do we need virtual functions in C++?

A virtual function is a base class member function that we expect to redefine in derived classes. In the base class, a virtual function is used to ensure that the function is overridden.  This is especially true when a pointer from a base class points to an object from a derived class. For example, consider the code below: class Base ...READ MORE
