set::find

public member function
iterator find ( const key_type& x ) const;

Get iterator to element

Searches the container for an element with a value of x and returns an iterator to it if found, otherwise it returns an iterator to set::end (the element past the end of the container).

Parameters

x
Value to be searched for.
key_type is a member type defined in set containers as an alias of Key, which is the first template parameter and the type of the elements stored in the container.

Return value

An iterator to the element, if the specified value is found, or set::end if the specified value is not found in the container.
iterator is a member type, defined in set as a bidirectional iterator type.

// set::find
#include <iostream>
#include <set>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
  set<int> myset;
  set<int>::iterator it;
  // set some initial values:
  for (int i=1; i<=5; i++) myset.insert(i*10);    // set: 10 20 30 40 50
  it=myset.find(20);
  myset.erase (it);
  myset.erase (myset.find(40));
  cout << "myset contains:";
  for (it=myset.begin(); it!=myset.end(); it++)
    cout << " " << *it;
  cout << endl;
  return 0;
}


Output:
myset contains: 10 30 50

Complexity

Logarithmic in size.
