=====mismatch=====
Syntax:

<code>
    #include <algorithm>
    pair <input_iterator1,input_iterator2> mismatch( input_iterator1 start1, input_iterator1 end1, input_iterator2 start2 );
    pair <input_iterator1,input_iterator2> mismatch( input_iterator1 start1, input_iterator1 end1, input_iterator2 start2, BinPred p );
</code>

The mismatch() function compares the elements in the range defined by
[start1,end1) to the elements in a range of the same size starting at start2.

The return value of ''mismatch()'' is either:
  * The first location where the two ranges differ.
  * If the ranges are equal, ''end1'' and the corresponding element in second range.

If the optional binary predicate ''p'' is given, then it is used to compare
elements from the two ranges.

The ''mismatch()'' algorithm runs in [[/complexity|linear time]].
