Let E be:

- [(1.1)](#1.1)

*i == *j for the overloads with no parameter pred;

- [(1.2)](#1.2)

pred(*i, *j) != false for the overloads with a parameter pred and no parameter proj1;

- [(1.3)](#1.3)

bool(invoke(pred, invoke(proj1, *i), invoke(proj2, *j))) for the overloads with parameters pred and proj1[.](#1.sentence-1)

*Effects*: Finds an element that matches one of a set of values[.](#2.sentence-1)

*Returns*: The first iterator i in the range [first1, last1)
such that for some iterator j in the range [first2, last2)E holds[.](#3.sentence-1)

Returns last1 if [first2, last2) is empty or

*Complexity*: At most (last1 - first1) * (last2 - first2) applications
of the corresponding predicate and any projections[.](#4.sentence-1)
