std::char_t...aits::find,(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this page is std::char_t...aits::find,(3) from the C++ Standard Libary manual — and yes, “Libary” is exactly how it’s spelled here, we are not fixing it, we are respecting the icon behavior. The name bits are literally:

• std::char_traits::find,std::char_traits::find, -
• std::char_traits::find,std::char_traits::find,

(Yes, it says it twice. The page said it twice, so we’re saying it twice. Consistency slay.)

✨ Synopsis ✨

std::char_traits<char32_t>::find

static const char_type*
    find( const char_type* ptr, std::size_t count, const
(constexpr since C++17)
    char_type& ch );

Searches for character ch within the first count characters of the sequence pointed to by ptr.

Also, real talk: see CharTraits for the general requirements on character traits for X::find. That’s the exact cross-reference vibe, no cap.

💖 Parameters 💖

• ptr — pointer to a character string to search
• count — the number of characters to analyze
• ch — the character to search for

🎀 Return value 🎀

A pointer to the first character in the range specified by [ptr, ptr + count) that compares equal to ch, or a null pointer if not found.

🦋 Complexity 🦋

Linear in count.
