Find index of an element within the array

[bbsmiley]

I have the following function:

template <typename T>
size_t FixedVector<T>::find(const T& value) {
// to be completed 
    size_t index_ = 0;

    for (size_t j = 0; j < size_; ++j) {
        if (array_[j] == value) {
            index_ = j;
        }
        else if ((array_[j] != value) || (size_ == 0)) {
            index_ = size_;
        }
    }
    return index_;

}

Here's my main.cpp

FixedVector<int> Array1(5);

Array1.push_back(1);
Array1.push_back(5);
Array1.push_back(10);

std::cout << "Value 5 is at index " << Array1.find(5) << std::endl;
std::cout << "Value 1 is at index " << Array1.find(1) << std::endl;

The output for both values are 3, which is the size of the array.
The function somehow always assigns size_ as index_ even though the value is indeed inside the array.

Is there any problem with my code?

Appreciate your help.

You should probably try to break away from the for loop once you have found it, otherwise it will keep looping. Try that first. Either break, or just return j once the value has been found.

Thank you so much. I did what you told me and it works now.
