Remove value from a vector with remove()
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
bool greater9( int );
int main()
{
const int SIZE = 10;
int a[ SIZE ] = { 10, 2, 10, 4, 16, 6, 14, 8, 12, 10 };
// Remove 10 from v
vector< int > v( a, a + SIZE );
vector< int >::iterator newLastElement;
newLastElement = remove( v.begin(), v.end(), 10 );
return 0;
}
bool greater9( int x )
{
return x > 9;
}std::remove does not change the size of the container,it moves elements forward to fill gaps created and returns the new "end" position.
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <list>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main (){
list <int> l;
for (int nCount = 0; nCount < 10; ++ nCount)
l.push_back (nCount);
list <int>::const_iterator li;
for ( li = l.begin (); li != l.end (); ++ li )
cout << *li << " ";
vector <int> v (l.size () * 2);
vector <int>::iterator iLastPos;
iLastPos = copy ( l.begin (), l.end (), v.begin () );
vector <int>::iterator i;
i = remove (v.begin (), v.end (), 0);
v.erase (i , v.end ());
vector <int>::iterator vi;
for ( vi = v.begin (); vi != v.end (); ++ vi )
cout << *vi << " ";
return 0;
}Use remove() to delete elements from a vector
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
template<class InIter>
void show_range(const char *msg, InIter start, InIter end);
int main()
{
vector<char> v;
vector<char>::iterator itr, itr_end;
for(int i=0; i<5; i++) {
v.push_back("A"+i);
}
for(int i=0; i<5; i++) {
v.push_back("A"+i);
}
show_range("Original contents of v:", v.begin(), v.end());
// Remove all A"s.
itr_end = remove(v.begin(), v.end(), "A");
show_range("v after removing all A"s:", v.begin(), itr_end);
return 0;
}
template<class InIter>
void show_range(const char *msg, InIter start, InIter end) {
InIter itr;
cout << msg << endl;
for(itr = start; itr != end; ++itr)
cout << *itr << endl;
}Use std::remove to delete all element in a vector by value
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <iterator>
int main()
{
int a[ 10 ] = { 10, 2, 10, 4, 16, 6, 14, 8, 12, 10 };
std::ostream_iterator< int > output( cout, " " );
std::vector< int > v( a, a + 10 ); // copy of a
std::vector< int >::iterator newLastElement;
cout << "Vector v before removing all 10s:\n ";
std::copy( v.begin(), v.end(), output );
// remove all 10s from v
newLastElement = std::remove( v.begin(), v.end(), 10 );
cout << "\nVector v after removing all 10s:\n ";
std::copy( v.begin(), newLastElement, output );
return 0;
}Vector v before removing all 10s:
10 2 10 4 16 6 14 8 12 10
Vector v after removing all 10s:
2 4 16 6 14 8 12
Use the generic remove algorithm
#include <iostream>
#include <cassert>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
const int N = 11;
int array1[N] = {1, 2, 0, 3, 4, 0, 5, 6, 7, 0, 8};
vector<int> vector1;
for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
vector1.push_back(array1[i]);
// Remove the zeros from vector1:
vector<int>::iterator new_end;
new_end = remove(vector1.begin(), vector1.end(), 0);
for (int i = 0; i < (int)vector1.size(); ++i)
cout << vector1[i];
cout << "\n\n\n\n\n";
// The size of vector1 remains the same:
assert (vector1.size() == N);
cout << vector1.size();
cout << "\n\n\n\n\n";
// The nonzero elements are left in [vector1.begin(), new_end). Erase the rest:
vector1.erase(new_end, vector1.end());
// Show that 3 elements were removed and the nonzero elements remain, in their original order:
assert (vector1.size() == N - 3);
cout << vector1.size();
cout << "\n\n\n\n\n";
for (int i = 0; i < (int)vector1.size(); ++i)
cout << vector1[i];
return 0;
