how to remove an element from a string in c++ code example
Example 1: removing a character from a string in c++
#include<iostream>
#include<algorithm>
using namespace std;
main() {
string my_str = "ABAABACCABA";
cout << "Initial string: " << my_str << endl;
my_str.erase(remove(my_str.begin(), my_str.end(), 'A'), my_str.end()); //remove A from string
cout << "Final string: " << my_str;
}
Example 2: erasing a character from a string in c++
// string::erase
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main ()
{
std::string str ("This is an example sentence.");
std::cout << str << '\n';
// "This is an example sentence."
str.erase (10,8); // ^^^^^^^^
std::cout << str << '\n';
// "This is an sentence."
str.erase (str.begin()+9); // ^
std::cout << str << '\n';
// "This is a sentence."
str.erase (str.begin()+5, str.end()-9); // ^^^^^
std::cout << str << '\n';
// "This sentence."
return 0;
}
Example 3: erase string c++
string& erase (size_t pos = 0, size_t len = npos);
/*
pos
Position of the first character to be erased.
If this is greater than the string length, it throws out_of_range.
Note: The first character in str is denoted by a value of 0 (not 1).
len
Number of characters to erase (if the string is shorter, as many characters as possible are erased).
A value of string::npos indicates all characters until the end of the string.
