Deduction guides(C++17)

bool contains( const Key& key ) const;	(1)	(since C++20)
template< class K > bool contains( const K& x ) const;	(2)	(since C++20)

1) Checks if there is an element with key equivalent to key in the container.

2) Checks if there is an element with key that compares equivalent to the value x. This overload only participates in overload resolution if the qualified-id Compare::is_transparent is valid and denotes a type. It allows calling this function without constructing an instance of Key.

Parameters

key	-	key value of the element to search for
x	-	a value of any type that can be transparently compared with a key

Return value

true if there is such an element, otherwise false.

Complexity

Logarithmic in the size of the container.

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <set>

int main()
{  
    std::set<int> example = {1, 2, 3, 4};

    if(example.contains(2)) {
        std::cout << "Found\n";
    } else {
        std::cout << "Not found\n";
    }
}

Output:

Found
