critbit0_contains(3)

💖 critbit0_contains(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Library Functions Manual and it's genuinely the easiest little function in the whole critbit family, no cap 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

critbit0_contains — check whether a string is in the critbit tree 🔍🌳

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

like, copy this exactly, don't freestyle it:

#include <libowfat/critbit.h>

critbit0_tree cb = { 0 };

int critbit0_contains(critbit0_tree* cb,const char* str);

see that = { 0 }? that's you initialising your tree to empty before you do literally anything else. main character setup energy 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so critbit0_contains goes and looks up the string you hand it inside the critbit0 tree. that's it. that's the whole job.

if str is in cb, critbit0_contains returns 1 🎉 otherwise it returns 0 😭

it's giving "yes or no, no in between" and honestly? iconic.

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

• 1 — the key was found 💖 slay
• 0 — it wasn't 🙈

• critbit0_insert(3) — go put stuff in the tree first, bestie, you can't find what you never added 🎀

and that's the whole page!! 💜 this little gem comes from the Library Functions Manual, filed under critbit0_contains(3), and it's still the same critbit0_contains(3) down at the bottom too — consistent queen, we love to see it ✨🌸🦋
