Predicate Version of includes (STL Sample)

The sample code below illustrates how to use the predicate version of the includes STL function in Visual C++.

Required Header:
<algorithm>

template<class InputIterator1, class InputIterator2, class Compare>
     inline bool includes(InputIterator1 first1,
     InputIterator1 last1,
     InputIterator2 first2,
     InputIterator2 last2,
     Compare compare)

Note: The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.

Description:
The includes algorithm searches for one sequence of values in another sequence of values. includes returns true if every element in the range [first2..last2) is in the sequence [first1..last1). This version of includes assumes that both sequences are sorted using the compare function.

                                      // element of CartoonVector

    end1 = CartoonVector.end() ;  // one past the location last
                                  // element of CartoonVector

    //Initialize list CartoonDeque
    CartoonDeque.push_back("Jasmine") ;

    CartoonDeque.push_back("Goofy") ;

    start2 = CartoonDeque.begin() ; // location of first

    end2 = CartoonDeque.end() ; // one past the location last
                                // element of CartoonDeque


    //sort CartoonVector and CartoonDeque alphabetically
    //includes requires the sequences
    //to be sorted.
    sort(start1, end1, string_compare) ;
    sort(start2, end2, string_compare) ;

    // print contents of CartoonVector and CartoonDeque
    cout << "CartoonVector { " ;
    for(it1 = start1; it1 != end1; it1++)
        cout << *it1 << ", " ;
    cout << " }\n" << endl ;
    cout << "CartoonDeque { " ;
    for(it2 = start2; it2 != end2; it2++)
        cout << *it2 << ", " ;
    cout << " }\n" << endl ;

    //Is CartoonDeque a subset of CartoonVector?
    if(includes(start1, end1, start2, end2, string_compare) )
        cout << "CartoonVector includes CartoonDeque"
        << endl ;
    else
        cout << "CartoonVector does not include CartoonDeque"
        << endl ;

}

 

Program Output is:

CartoonVector { Aladdin, Goofy, Jasmine, Mickey, Minnie,  }

CartoonDeque { Aladdin, Goofy, Jasmine,  }

CartoonVector includes CartoonDeque
