`find` finds the first element matching the supplied predicate in C#, Groovy, Haskell, and Scala, and the first element that is equal to the supplied value in C++, to mention a few examples. I think Python has a `find` method on strings that returns the index, but that's not generic. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjo...@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
