Returns the first mismatching pair of elements from two ranges: one defined by [first1, last1) and another starting at first2. The first version of the function uses operator== to compare the elements, the second version uses the given binary predicate p.

Parameters

first1, last1	-	the first range of the elements
first2	-	the beginning of the second range of the elements
p	-	binary predicate which returns ​true if the elements should be treated as equal. The signature of the predicate function should be equivalent to the following:  bool pred(const Type1 &a, const Type2 &b); While the signature does not need to have const &, the function must not modify the objects passed to it and must be able to accept all values of type (possibly const) Type1 and Type2 regardless of value category (thus, Type1 & is not allowed, nor is Type1 unless for Type1 a move is equivalent to a copy(since C++11)). The types Type1 and Type2 must be such that objects of types InputIt1 and InputIt2 can be dereferenced and then implicitly converted to Type1 and Type2 respectively. ​

Return value

std::pair with iterators to the first two non-equivalent elements, or, if no different elements found, pair with last1 and the corresponding iterator from the second range.

Complexity

At most last1 - first1 applications of the predicate

Possible implementation

First version
template<class InputIt1, class InputIt2> std::pair<InputIt1, InputIt2> mismatch(InputIt1 first1, InputIt1 last1, InputIt2 first2) { while (first1 != last1 && *first1 == *first2) { ++first1, ++first2; } return std::make_pair(first1, first2); }
Second version
template<class InputIt1, class InputIt2, class BinaryPredicate> std::pair<InputIt1, InputIt2> mismatch(InputIt1 first1, InputIt1 last1, InputIt2 first2, BinaryPredicate p) { while (first1 != last1 && p(*first1, *first2)) { ++first1, ++first2; } return std::make_pair(first1, first2); }

Example

This program determines the the longest substring that is simultaneously found at the very beginning of the given string and at the very end of it, in reverse order (possibly overlapping)

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
 
std::string mirror_ends(const std::string& in)
{
    return std::string(in.begin(),
                       std::mismatch(in.begin(), in.end(), in.rbegin()).first);
}
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << mirror_ends("abXYZba") << '\n'
              << mirror_ends("abca") << '\n'
              << mirror_ends("aba") << '\n';
}

Output:

ab
a
aba
