unordered_set find() function in C++ STL

The unordered_set::find() function is a built-in function in C++ STL which is used to search for an element in the container. It returns an iterator to the element, if found else, it returns an iterator pointing to unordered_set::end().

Syntax :

unordered_set_name.find(key)

Parameter: This function accepts a mandatory parameter key which specifies the element to be searched for.

Return Value: It returns an iterator to the element if found, else returns an iterator pointing to the end of unordered_set.

Below programs illustrate the unordered_set::find() function:
