lookupSorted()
Fast (binary) lookup in a sorted dyn_string.
Synopsis
bool lookupSorted(dyn_string &values, const string &value, bool
insertIfNotFound = true, bool removeIfFound = false)
Parameters
| Parameters | Meaning |
|---|---|
| values | Sorted dynamic array of strings where /p value should be looked up. Must be sorted ascending. |
| value | String to look up in /p values. |
| insertIfNotFound | If true (default) and value is
not found in values, it is inserted at the correct
(sorted) location. |
| removeIfFound | If true (default is false) and
value is found in values, it
will be removed. |
Return value
true- ifvaluewas foundfalse- ifvaluewas not found (before inserting or removing it)
Description
Should also be used to add and/or remove strings (using the insertIfNotFound and removeIfFound flags). The default behavior is to add strings that are not yet included, which is the most common use case: keep a list of things that have already been processed in order to not process them again.
Note: If this functionality is needed for a different value type, it needs to be
re-implemented for that data type.
