String Contains function

The strContains function returns true or false depending on whether the input string contains the search string. If you have ever used the contains function in C# or VB then you may know how useful it can be.

bool strContains(const string inputStr, const string searchStr)
{
    size_t contains;

    contains = inputStr.find(searchStr);

    if(contains != string::npos)
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}

/* Example */
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

bool strContains(const string inputStr, const string searchStr)
{
    size_t contains;

    contains = inputStr.find(searchStr);

    if(contains != string::npos)
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}

int main()
{
    string sentence = "Hello World, This is a test of the contains function";
  
    if(strContains(sentence, "contains function"))
    {
        cout << "It works!" << endl;
    }
    else
        cout << "Oops, time to rethink" << endl;

    return 0;
}
/* End of example */
