Check if element is in the list (contains)

Question

I\'ve got a list of elements, say, integers and I want to check if my variable (another integer) is one of the elements from the list. In python I\'d do:

my_list         


        

Answer 1

You can use std::find

bool found = (std::find(my_list.begin(), my_list.end(), my_var) != my_list.end());

You need to include . It should work on standard containers, vectors lists, etc...
