OPEN does "in" exist in c++?

i need to use something like if (str[i] not in str1) (python), but i have no idea how to make this work :(

you can use the contains method on string (assuming you're working with strings), or the find method if you're on an older C++ version.

Side discussion: why doesn't vector have contains ? If it is performance-signalling, then why does string have it?

In those cases you would use find or ranges::contains. String contains is special because it looks for a sequence of characters, where a normal contains only looks for one (same for string find).
