question on std::find()

[Bit byte]

I have the ff code:

list<string> *m_alive_list ;
list<string>::iterator my_iter;
my_iter = find(m_alive_list->begin(), m_alive_list->end, string(inbox) ;

Compiler barfs on 2nd line with this error msg:

error C2665: 'std::find' : none of the 3 overloads can convert parameter
1 from type 'std::list<_Ty>::iterator'
with
[
_Ty=std::string
]

I thought the first arg (i.e. ->begin() ) returns an iterator of the
correct type - what gives?

Correction - compiler barfs on the THIRD line (i.e. line containing the
find() algorithm)

Line 3.

1 - put () at end of end methode
2 - put ) at end of find function/template

That was an obvious typo (did you read the compiler error message).

For those whom the typo was not obvious, here is the corrected line:

my_iter = find(m_alive_list->begin(), m_alive_list->end, string(inbox) );

I did not see any problems, here is my code that works;

#include <list>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>

using namespace std;

list<string> *m_list ;
list<string>::iterator my_iter;

int main()
{
m_list = new list<string>;
my_iter = find(m_list->begin(), m_list->end(), string("dasdas")) ;

delete m_list;
return 0;
}

By-thw-way - what compiler do you use?

my_iter = find(m_alive_list->begin(), m_alive_list->end, string(inbox) );

And what about the _other_ obvious typo?

Try

my_iter = find(m_alive_list->begin(),m_alive_list->end(),string(inbox));
