upper_bound() Algorithm in C++

This C++ program demonstrates last occurence of an element using upper_bound algorithm. The program takes an element from the input and the is passed to the upper_bound() function alongwith the iterators to the beginning and end of the vector. The function returns an iterator to the first occurence of the element.

Here is the source code of the C++ program which demonstrates last occurence of an element using upper_bound algorithm. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
