Get position of array in MFC

Hi,

Is it possible to get the position of an array?

Example:

int iArray[] = {2, 3, 10, 35, 5, 87, 9, 6};
          iValue = m_iValue    // m_iValue = 5 -> from database

Now i got "iValue" but I want to "search" this value in "iArray" and get its position - here it would be iValue = 5 so the position must be 4 => iArray[4].

Is there any method in C++ for that?

are you familiar with vector?

no, not really

You may use std::find[^] for that (or simply write yourself the simple serach function).

hi,
i think you have an array of numbers and you want to check if the entered value is present in the array and if it is present then at which location. you want to do this by using some method which c++ already provides. (please correct if i am wrong !)

you can do this easily by using vector[^] instead of an array

see here[^] on how to use std:distance algorithm to find the index of an iterator
a similar question is here on index of an iterator[^]

check how to find value in a vector here[^]
if you still want to use an array look here[^]

hope this helps

Yes, that's right. I still want to use an array because I need it the whole code.
Thank you very much for your answer and I will try it now.
