Just out of curiosity, why doesn't C++ find() accept a binary
predicate so users can do equality comparisons other than the ==
operator? In this case, the use of find() will be similar to sort(),
and probably we can do away with find_if(). Like most things in C++, I
know there must be a good reason for this, I just cannot figure out
what that is at the moment. Thank you.

The type of the object that the find algorithm compares should be one
that can be compared by using the operator ==
In case you want to use find algo for an object of your class you
could overload the operator == for that class.
Thanks and regards

It must be a semantic reason.
In the case of find the semantic is an equivalence relation.
If you wanted to use another operator (which must be an inequality
operator), it would in fact become a predicate (i.e. "returns true if
the condition is satisfied, false if it is not") which means find_if
applies.

If the values are of the same type (or can be cast on the same type),
the following is more straightforward :
find_if(v.begin (),v.end(),bind 2nd(less<type>( ),value));

The different sort() templates have different number of parameters, so
the compiler can tell them apart.
A find() with a value and a find() with a functor would have the same
number of parameters, so the compiler cannot see which one you want to
call. Thus another name - find_if.

In the ISPF editor I am using, for a particullar PO Dataset I am
getting the result of FIND statement narrowed down to the colums
48-56. i.e. if I give "FIND 'TO' ALL", the result I am getting as
"CHARS 'TO' - found 239 times within columns 48 to 56".
Please guide me as to how to make this PDS back to normal so that the
FIND command processes the whole 1 TO 80.
Thank you for the valuable time.

How can I implement regex to find complete or partial words or a group of

I have a question about the find function of std::set.
When I have a "std::set<int*>", why can't I call the find() function with an
"const int*"? I know that my key type is different from the type of the
parameter I give to the find function but can't the find() function be
written in a way where this would work? Normally, "int*" can be compared

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
