Predicate Version of includes

Illustrates how to use the predicate version of the includes Standard Template Library (STL) function in Visual C++.

template<class InputIterator1, class InputIterator2, class Compare>
   inline bool includes(
      InputIterator1 First1,
      InputIterator1 Last1,
      InputIterator2 First2,
      InputIterator2 Last2,
      Compare Compare
   )

Remarks

Notes

The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.

The includes algorithm searches for one sequence of values in another sequence of values. includes returns true if every element in the range [First2..Last2) is in the sequence [First1..Last1). This version of includes assumes that both sequences are sorted using the compare function.

Example

// includesPV.cpp 
// compile with: /EHsc
// 
// Illustrates how to use the predicate version of
// includes function.
//
// Functions:
//    includes - Search for one sequence in another.
//    string_compare - Compare strings, return true if
//                       s1 < s2.

Output

CartoonVector { Aladdin, Goofy, Jasmine, Mickey, Minnie,  }

CartoonDeque { Aladdin, Goofy, Jasmine,  }
