# std::basic_string::find_last_of

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | string‎ | basic string

size_type find_last_of( const basic_string& str, size_type pos = npos ) const; | (1) |
size_type find_last_of( const CharT* s, size_type pos, size_type count ) const; | (2) |
size_type find_last_of( const CharT* s, size_type pos = npos ) const; | (3) |
size_type find_last_of( CharT ch, size_type pos = npos ) const; | (4) |

Finds the last character equal to one of characters in the given character sequence. Search begins at `pos`, i.e. only the substring `[0, pos]` is considered in the search. If npos is passed as `pos` whole string will be searched.

1) Finds the last character equal to one of characters in `str`.
2) Finds the last character equal to one of characters in the first `count` characters of the character string pointed to by `s`. `s` can include null characters.
3) Finds the last character equal to one of characters in character string pointed to by `s`. The length of the string is determined by the first null character.
4) Finds the last character equal to `ch`.

### [edit] Parameters

str | - | string identifying characters to search for
pos | - | position at which to begin searching
count | - | length of character string identifying characters to search for
s | - | pointer to a character string identifying characters to search fo
ch | - | character to search for

### [edit] Return value

Position of the found character or npos if no such character is found.

### [edit] Exceptions
