std::find_end
C++98 · The Foundation · Compiler flag: -std=c++98
Explanation
Finds the last occurrence of a subsequence in a range.
Real-World Scenario
Locate the last matching pattern in a text search.
Quick Snippet

std::find_end(vec.begin(), vec.end(), sub.begin(), sub.end());Full Example
find_end.cpp
// CodeNebula - C++98 Example: find_end
// Compile: g++ -std=c++98 -Wall -Wextra -o example find_end.cpp
// std::find_end searches for the LAST occurrence of a subsequence within a range.
// Returns an iterator to the beginning of the last match, or last1 if not found.

}
// Expected output:
// Sequence: 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 4
// Subsequence: 1 2 3
// Last occurrence at index 6
// Pattern {5,6} not found
