1,2) Finds an element with key equivalent to key.
3,4) Finds an element with key that compares equivalent to the value x. This overload only participates in overload resolution if the qualified-id Hash::transparent_key_equal is valid and denotes a type. This assumes that such Hash is callable with both K and Key type, and that its key_equal is transparent, which, together, allows calling this function without constructing an instance of Key.

If present, the hash parameter may be used to pass a pre-computed hash value as an optimization. The behavior is undefined if invoking hash_function() on the key passed do not produce the same value as hash.

 (since C++20)

Parameters

key - key value of the element to search for
x - a value of any type that can be transparently compared with a key
hash - the hash value of the key

Return value

Iterator to an element with key equivalent to key. If no such element is found, past-the-end (see end()) iterator is returned.

Complexity

Constant on average, worst case linear in the size of the container.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <unordered_map>
 
int main()
{  
// simple comparison demo
    std::unordered_map<int,char> example = {{1,'a'},{2,'b'}};
 
    auto search = example.find(2);
    if (search != example.end()) {
        std::cout << "Found " << search->first << " " << search->second << '\n';
    } else {
        std::cout << "Not found\n";
    }
 
 
}

Output:

Found 2 b
