How to check that an element is in a std::set?

Question

How do you check that an element is in a set? Is there a simpler equivalent of the following code: myset.find(x) != myset.end()

Answer 1

Unfortunately the C++ standards group did not include a contains method for the std::set interface. So your code example is the intended way to determine if the set contains an element.

However in C++ 20 there appears to be a new contains method which should be the preferred way going forward.
