/ /通用语法

       set<int>::iterator ii = find(set1.begin(),set1.end(),"element to be searched");

/*在下面的代码中，我试图找到元素4和int集，如果它存在与否*/

set<int>::iterator ii = find(set1.begin(),set1.end(),4);
 if(ii!=set1.end())
 {
    cout<<"element found";
    set1.erase(ii);// in case you want to erase that element from set.
 }

检查许多STL容器是否存在的典型方法，如std::map, std::set，…是:

const bool is_in = container.find(element) != container.end();

       set<int>::iterator ii = find(set1.begin(),set1.end(),"element to be searched");

/*在下面的代码中，我试图找到元素4和int集，如果它存在与否*/

set<int>::iterator ii = find(set1.begin(),set1.end(),4);
 if(ii!=set1.end())
 {
    cout<<"element found";
    set1.erase(ii);// in case you want to erase that element from set.

写你自己的:

template<class T>
bool checkElementIsInSet(const T& elem, const std::set<T>& container)
{
  return container.find(elem) != container.end();
}

我能够为std::list和std::vector编写一个通用的包含函数，

template<typename T>
bool contains( const list<T>& container, const T& elt )
{
  return find( container.begin(), container.end(), elt ) != container.end() ;
}

template<typename T>
bool contains( const vector<T>& container, const T& elt )
{
  return find( container.begin(), container.end(), elt ) != container.end() ;
}

// use:
if( contains( yourList, itemInList ) ) // then do something

这样可以稍微清理一下语法。

但是我不能使用模板模板参数魔术使此工作任意stl容器。

// NOT WORKING:
template<template<class> class STLContainer, class T>
bool contains( STLContainer<T> container, T elt )
{
  return find( container.begin(), container.end(), elt ) != container.end() ;
}

任何关于改进上一个答案的评论都是很好的。

Just to clarify, the reason why there is no member like contains() in these container types is because it would open you up to writing inefficient code. Such a method would probably just do a this->find(key) != this->end() internally, but consider what you do when the key is indeed present; in most cases you'll then want to get the element and do something with it. This means you'd have to do a second find(), which is inefficient. It's better to use find directly, so you can cache your result, like so:

auto it = myContainer.find(key);
if (it != myContainer.end())
{
    // Do something with it, no more lookup needed.
}
else
{
    // Key was not present.
}

当然，如果你不关心效率，你总是可以自己滚动，但在这种情况下，你可能不应该使用c++…；）
