how to find the first iterator that not equals to some specifiedvalue?

[Leo jay]

dear all,

i know i can use std::find to find specified value in an iterator
range,
i'd like to know is there any way to find the first value that not
equals to the specified value?
just like string::find_first_not_of,
or do i have to write a for loop and check manually?

thanks in advance.

find_if: the predicate version of find

bool not_equal_to_1(int i) {
return i != 1;
}

void foo(std::vector<intconst& V) {
std::vector<int>::const_iterator pos =
std::find_if(V.begin(), V.end(), not_equal_to_1);
}

if you borrowing Boost.Lambda, it could be much simpler.

std::find_if(V.begin(), V.end(), _1 != 1);

Try std::find_if.

std::find_if and std::not_equal_to should do nicely.

assuming a vector of char:

#include <vector>
#include <algorithm // find_if
#include <functional // bind1st, not_equal_to

int main()
{
...
std::vector<char>::const_iterator it
= std::find_if( vc.begin(),
vc.end(),
std::bind1st (std::not_equal_to<char>(),
'a') );
}

thanks, that's what i'm looking for.
