To do: Using the C++ find_if() to locate the position of the first occurrence of an element in a range that satisfies a specified condition in C++ programming

To show: How to use the C++ algorithm, find_if() to locate the position of the first occurrence of an element in a range that satisfies a specified condition in C++ programming

// C++ STL algorithm, find_if()

#include <list>

#include <algorithm>

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

bool great(int value)

{return (value>13);}

int main(void)

{

// list container

list <int> lst;

// list iterators

list <int>::iterator Iter;

list <int>::iterator result;

// pushing data, constructing the list

lst.push_back(13);

lst.push_back(9);

lst.push_back(10);

lst.push_back(22);

lst.push_back(31);

lst.push_back(17);

// print the data

cout<<"List lst data: ";

for(Iter = lst.begin(); Iter != lst.end(); Iter++)

cout<<*Iter<<" ";

cout<<endl;

// do the find_if() operation

cout<<"\nOperation: find_if(lst.begin(), lst.end(), great)"<<endl;

result = find_if(lst.begin(), lst.end(), great);

if(result == lst.end())

cout<<"There is no element greater than 13 in list lst."<<endl;

else

result++;

cout<<"There is an element greater than 13 in list lst, and it is followed by a "<<*(result)<<endl;

return 0;

}

Output examples:

List lst data: 13 9 10 22 31 17

Operation: find_if(lst.begin(), lst.end(), great)

There is an element greater than 13 in list lst, and it is followed by a 31
