find_first_of() Function in C++

This C++ program demonstrates the find_first_of() algorithm. The function find_first_of() finds the first element from first container which exists in second container. The function takes four iterators – iterators to the beginning and end to the sequence containers.

Here is the source code of the C++ program which demonstrates the find_first_of() algorithm. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
