I was expecting the following code should print out only "2 is found", however it prints out both. The second one should not happen because 4 is not in the first 3 elements of the vector. Where did I make the mistake?
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
vector<int> a = {1,2,3,4,5};
if(find(a.begin(),a.begin()+3,2) != a.end()) cout << "2 found" << endl;
if(find(a.begin(),a.begin()+3,4) != a.end()) cout << "4 found" << endl;
}
Result:
2 found
4 found

Change find(a.begin(),a.begin()+3,2) != a.end()
to find(a.begin(),a.begin()+3,2) != a.begin()+3
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
vector<int> a = {1,2,3,4,5};
if(find(a.begin(),a.begin()+3,2) != a.begin()+3) cout << "2 found" << endl;
if(find(a.begin(),a.begin()+3,4) != a.begin()+3) cout << "4 found" << endl;
}

find
returns the end/"last" value you passed it if the value is not found, which in this case is not a.end()
. The code should compare a la ... != a.begin() + 3...
