(2) (ranges TS)
1) Searches the range [first, last) for the first sequence of count elements whose projected values are each equal to the given value value according to the predicate pred.
2) Same as (1), but uses r as the source range, as if using ranges::begin(r) as first and ranges::end(r) as last.

Parameters

first, last - the range of elements to examine
r - the range of elements to examine
count - the length of the sequence to search for
value - the value to search for
pred - the predicate that compares the projected elements with value
proj - the projection to apply to the elements

Return value

Iterator to the beginning of the found sequence in the range [first, last). If no such sequence is found, an iterator that compares equal to last is returned.

Complexity

At most last - first applications of the predicate and the projection.

Possible implementation

template< ForwardIterator I, Sentinel<I> S, class T,
          class Pred = ranges::equal_to<>, class Proj = ranges::identity >
  requires IndirectlyComparable<I, const T*, Pred, Proj>
I search_n(I first, S last, ranges::difference_type_t<I> count,
           const T& value, Pred pred = Pred{}, Proj proj = Proj{})
{
    for(; first != last; ++first) {
        if (!ranges::invoke(pred, ranges::invoke(proj, *first), value)) {
            continue;
        }
 
        I candidate = first;
        ranges::difference_type_t<I> cur_count = 0;
 
        while (true) {
            ++cur_count;
            if (cur_count == count) {
                // success
                return candidate;
            }
            ++first;
            if (first == last) {
                // exhausted the list
                return first;
            }
            if (!ranges::invoke(pred, ranges::invoke(proj, *first), value)) {
                // too few in a row
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    return first;
}
