# includes **Description** : Test whether sorted range `[first1, last1)` contains (includes) all elements from another sorted range `[first2, last2)`. **Example**: ```cpp std::vector v1 {8, 2, 0, 4}; std::vector v2 {2, 0}; std::vector v3 {1, 0}; // includes requires sorted ranges std::sort(v1.begin(), v1.end()); std::sort(v2.begin(), v2.end()); std::sort(v3.begin(), v3.end()); auto v1ContainsV2 = std::includes(v1.begin(), v1.end(), // first range v2.begin(), v2.end()); // second range // prints 1/true std::cout << " v1 contains v2? " << v1ContainsV2 << std::endl; auto v1ContainsV3 = std::includes(v1.begin(), v1.end(), // first range v3.begin(), v3.end()); // second range // prints 0/false std::cout << " v1 contains v3? " << v1ContainsV3 << std::endl; ``` **[See Sample code](../snippets/algorithm/includes.cpp)** **[Run Code](https://rextester.com/MMPQ67900)**
