How to use find algorithm with a vector of pointers to objects in c++?

Question

I want to find in a vector of Object pointers for a matching object. Here\'s a sample code to illustrate my problem:

class A {
public:
    A(string a):_a(a) {}
          


        

Answer 1

Try using find_if instead. It has a parameter for a predicate where you can decide exactly how to check wheter you found the right element.
