how to find the last matching element in a container?

Hi
How to find last matching element in a container. The find() algorithm
does it for the first matching element. Of course I can reverse and do
the same..But is there any direct method? I found find_end() but then
that is for matching a sub sequence. But I have just one element to be
matched, but from last. What is the easiest approach?
thanks

Depends on container. Reversible containers have rbegin() and rend()
so you can search in reverse order without actually reversing them.

Thanks, I was trying to use boost::multi_array and they have rbegin()
and rend()
