STL algorithm question

Does anyone know what algorithm or member function to use that returns a true or false if a container contains a specified item?

Something like:

if (contains(myVec,"John"))
cout<<"MyVec contains the name John!"<<endl;

>if (contains(myVec,"John"))
Assuming your container can test for strings:

Code:

---

if (find(myVec.begin(), myVec.end(), "John") != myVec.end())

---
