[](int i,auto v){return std::binary_search(begin(v),end(v),i)-1;}
Assumes a sorted data structure which has iterators as input.
Example:
#include<algorithm>
#include<iostream>
auto f = [](int i, auto v){ return std::binary_search(begin(v), end(v), i) - 1; };
int main()
{
std::vector<int> v = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
std::cout << f(3, v);
}
