c++ delete elements from vector code example

Example 1: remove value from vector c++

#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>

// using the erase-remove idiom

std::vector<int> vec {2, 4, 6, 8};
int value = 8 // value to be removed
vec.erase(std::remove(vec.begin(), vec.end(), value), vec.end());

Example 2: how to remove an element from a vector by value c++

std::vector<int> v; 
// fill it up somehow
v.erase(std::remove(v.begin(), v.end(), 99), v.end()); 
// really remove all elements with value 99

Example 3: vector erase specific element

template <typename T>
void remove(std::vector<T>& vec, size_t pos)
{
    std::vector<T>::iterator it = vec.begin();
    std::advance(it, pos);
    vec.erase(it);
}
