find() Function in C++

This C++ program creates a vector and uses find() to search for an element. The program creates a vector and uses find() function from algorithm library. The iterator to the beginning and end of the vector is passed as parameter to the function find() and also the key that is to be found.

Here is the source code of the C++ program creates a vector uses find() to search for an element. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
