Following the normal C convention, an integer value is assumed to be true if non-zero, and false otherwise. An example function might be the following, which takes as argument an integer and returns <SAMP>true</SAMP> if the number represents a leap year, and <SAMP>false</SAMP> otherwise:</P><PRE>bool isLeapYear (unsigned int year) // return true if year is leap year{ // millennia are leap years if (0 == year % 1000) return true; // every fourth century is if (0 == year % 400) return true; // every fourth year is if (0 == year % 4) return true; // otherwise not return false;}</PRE><P>A predicate is used as an argument, for example, in the generic algorithm named <SAMP>find_if()</SAMP>. This algorithm returns the first value that satisfies the predicate, returning the end-of-range value if no such element is found. Using this algorithm, the following locates the first leap year in a list of years:</P><PRE>list<int>::iterator firstLeap = find_if(aList.begin(), aList.end(), isLeapYear);</PRE><HR><A HREF="fun_5137.htm"><IMG SRC="images/prev.gif"></A> <A HREF="booktoc1.htm"><IMG SRC="images/toc.gif"></A><A HREF="tindex1.htm"><IMG SRC="images/tindex.gif"></A><A HREF="fun_0476.htm"><IMG SRC="images/next.gif"></A><P>©Copyright 1996, Rogue Wave Software, Inc.</P></BODY></HTML>⌨️ 快捷键说明
