  1. Searches the range [first, last) for the first sequence of count elements whose projected values are each equal to the given value according to the binary predicate pred.

  2. Same as (1), but uses r as the source range, as if using ranges::begin(r) as first and ranges::end(r) as last.

The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids), that is:

Contents

[edit] Parameters

first, last - the iterator-sentinel pair defining the range of elements to examine (aka haystack)
r - the range of elements to examine (aka haystack)
count - the length of the sequence to search for
value - the value to search for (aka needle)
pred - the binary predicate that compares the projected elements with value
proj - the projection to apply to the elements of the range to examine

[edit] Return value

  1. Returns std::ranges::subrange object that contains a pair of iterators in the range [first, last) that designate the found subsequence.

If no such subsequence is found, returns std::ranges::subrange{last, last}.

If count <= 0, returns std::ranges::subrange{first, first}.

[edit] Complexity

Linear: at most ranges::distance(first, last) applications of the predicate and the projection.

[edit] Notes

An implementation can improve efficiency of the search in average if the iterators model std::random_access_iterator.

#include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include   int main() { namespace ranges = std::ranges;   static constexpr auto nums = {1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1}; constexpr int count{3}; constexpr int value{2}; typedef int count_t, value_t;   constexpr auto result1 = ranges::search_n ( nums.begin(), nums.end(), count, value ); static_assert // found ( result1.size() == count && std::distance(nums.begin(), result1.begin()) == 6 && std::distance(nums.begin(), result1.end()) == 9 );   constexpr auto result2 = ranges::search_n(nums, count, value); static_assert // found ( result2.size() == count && std::distance(nums.begin(), result2.begin()) == 6 && std::distance(nums.begin(), result2.end()) == 9 );   constexpr auto result3 = ranges::search_n(nums, count, value_t{5}); static_assert // not found ( result3.size() == 0 && result3.begin() == result3.end() && result3.end() == nums.end() );   constexpr auto result4 = ranges::search_n(nums, count_t{0}, value_t{1}); static_assert // not found ( result4.size() == 0 && result4.begin() == result4.end() && result4.end() == nums.begin() );   constexpr char symbol{'B'}; auto to_ascii = [](const int z) -> char { return 'A' + z - 1; }; auto is_equ = [](const char x, const char y) { return x == y; };   std::cout << "Find a sub-sequence " << std::string(count, symbol) << " in the "; std::ranges::transform(nums, std::ostream_iterator(std::cout, ""), to_ascii); std::cout << '\n';   auto result5 = ranges::search_n(nums, count, symbol, is_equ, to_ascii); if (not result5.empty()) std::cout << "Found at position " << ranges::distance(nums.begin(), result5.begin()) << '\n';   std::vector<std::complex> nums2{{4, 2}, {4, 2}, {1, 3}}; #ifdef __cpp_lib_algorithm_default_value_type auto it = ranges::search_n(nums2, 2, {4, 2}); #else auto it = ranges::search_n(nums2, 2, std::complex{4, 2}); #endif assert(it.size() == 2); }

Output:
