    Searches the range [first, last) for any of the elements in the range [s_first, s_last).

    1) Elements are compared using operator==.
    3) Elements are compared using the given binary predicate p.
    2,4) Same as (1,3), but executed according to policy.
    These overloads participate in overload resolution only if all following conditions are satisfied:

    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)

    Parameters

    first, last - the pair of iterators defining the range of elements to examine
    s_first, s_last - the pair of iterators defining the range of elements to search for
    policy - the execution policy to use
    p - binary predicate which returns ​true if the elements should be treated as equal.

    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 types Type1 and Type2 must be such that objects of types ForwardIt1 and ForwardIt2 can be dereferenced and then implicitly converted to Type1 and Type2 respectively. ​

    Type requirements
    -
    InputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator.
    -
    ForwardIt must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.
    -
    ForwardIt1 must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.
    -
    ForwardIt2 must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.
    -
    BinaryPred must meet the requirements of BinaryPredicate.

    Return value

    Iterator to the first element in the range [first, last) that is equal to an element from the range [s_first, s_last).

    If [s_first, s_last) is empty or if no such element is found, last is returned.

    Complexity

    Given N as std::distance(first, last) and S as std::distance(s_first, s_last):

    1,2) At most N·S comparisons using operator==.
    3,4) At most N·S applications of the predicate p.

    Exceptions

    The overloads with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy report errors as follows:

    • If execution of a function invoked as part of the algorithm throws an exception and ExecutionPolicy is one of the standard policies, std::terminate is called. For any other ExecutionPolicy, the behavior is implementation-defined.
    • If the algorithm fails to allocate memory, std::bad_alloc is thrown.

    Possible implementation

    find_first_of (1) 
    template<class InputIt, class ForwardIt>
InputIt find_first_of(InputIt first, InputIt last,
                      ForwardIt s_first, ForwardIt s_last)
{
    for (; first != last; ++first)
        for (ForwardIt it = s_first; it != s_last; ++it)
            if (*first == *it)
                return first;
    return last;
}
    find_first_of (3) 
    template<class InputIt, class ForwardIt, class BinaryPred>
InputIt find_first_of(InputIt first, InputIt last,
                      ForwardIt s_first, ForwardIt s_last,
                      BinaryPred p)
{
    for (; first != last; ++first)
        for (ForwardIt it = s_first; it != s_last; ++it)
            if (p(*first, *it))
                return first;
    return last;
}

    Example

    The following code searches for any of specified integers in a vector of integers:

    Run this code
    #include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

auto print_sequence = [](const auto id, const auto& seq, int pos = -1)
{
    std::cout << id << "{ ";
    for (int i{}; auto const& e : seq)
    {
        const bool mark{i == pos};
        std::cout << (i++ ? ", " : "");
        std::cout << (mark ? "[ " : "") << e << (mark ? " ]" : "");
    }
    std::cout << " }\n";
};

int main()
{
    const std::vector<int> v{0, 2, 3, 25, 5};
    const auto t1 = {19, 10, 3, 4};
    const auto t2 = {1, 6, 7, 9};
    
    auto find_any_of = [](const auto& v, const auto& t)
    {
        const auto result = std::find_first_of(v.begin(), v.end(),
                                               t.begin(), t.end());
        if (result == v.end())
        {
            std::cout << "No elements of v are equal to any element of ";
            print_sequence("t = ", t);
            print_sequence("v = ", v);
        }
        else
        {
            const auto pos = std::distance(v.begin(), result);
            std::cout << "Found a match (" << *result << ") at position " << pos;
            print_sequence(", where t = ", t);
            print_sequence("v = ", v, pos);
        }
    };
    
    find_any_of(v, t1);
    find_any_of(v, t2);
}

    Output: 

    Found a match (3) at position 2, where t = { 19, 10, 3, 4 }
v = { 0, 2, [ 3 ], 25, 5 }
No elements of v are equal to any element of t = { 1, 6, 7, 9 }
v = { 0, 2, 3, 25, 5 }

    Defect reports

    The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

    DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
    LWG 576 C++98 first and last needed to be LegacyForwardIterators they only need to be
    LegacyInputIterators
    LWG 1205 C++98 the return value was unclear if [s_first, s_last) is empty returns last in this case
