Searches the range [
first,
last)
for the first sequence of count identical elements, each equal to the given value.
std::is_execution_policy_v <std::decay_t <ExecutionPolicy>> is true.
(until C++20)std::is_execution_policy_v <std::remove_cvref_t <ExecutionPolicy>> is true.
(since C++20)The signature of the predicate function should be equivalent to the following:
bool pred(const Type1 &a, const Type2 &b);
While the signature does not need to have const &, the function must not modify the objects passed to it and must be able to accept all values of type (possibly const) Type1
and Type2
regardless of value category (thus, Type1 & is not allowed, nor is Type1 unless for Type1
a move is equivalent to a copy(since C++11)).
The type Type1 must be such that an object of type ForwardIt can be dereferenced and then implicitly converted to Type1. The type Type2 must be such that an object of type T can be implicitly converted to Type2.
ForwardIt
must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.
BinaryPred
must meet the requirements of BinaryPredicate.
If count is positive, returns an iterator to the beginning of the first sequence found in the range [
first,
last)
. Each iterator it in the sequence should satisfy the following condition:
If no such sequence is found, last is returned.
If count is zero or negative, first is returned.
Given \(\scriptsize N\)N as std::distance (first, last):
The overloads with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy
report errors as follows:
ExecutionPolicy
is one of the standard policies, std::terminate is called. For any other ExecutionPolicy
, the behavior is implementation-defined.

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.
DR | Applied to | Behavior as published | Correct behavior |
---|---|---|---|
LWG 283 | C++98 | T was required to be EqualityComparable, butthe value type of InputIt is not always T
|
removed the requirement |
LWG 426 | C++98 | the complexity upper limit was N·count ,it is negative if count is negative |
the upper limit is 0 if count is non-positive |
LWG 714 | C++98 | if count > 0, the complexity upper limit was N·count , but inthe worst case the number of comparisons/operations is always N
|
changed the upper limit to N in this case
|
LWG 2150 | C++98 | the condition of "sequence occurence" was incorrect | corrected |
