delete element in 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: vector erase specific element

vector.erase( vector.begin() + 3 ); // Deleting the fourth element

Example 3: how to delete an element in vector pair in cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <utility>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;


int main()
{
    vector< pair<int, int> > v;
    int N = 5;
    const int threshold = 2;
    for(int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
        v.push_back(make_pair(i, i));

    int i = 0;
    while(i < v.size())
        if (v[i].second > threshold)
            v.erase(v.begin() + i);
        else
            i++;

    for(int i = 0; i < v.size(); ++i)
        cout << "(" << v[i].first << ", " << v[i].second << ")\n";

    cout << "Done" << endl;
}

Example 4: 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);
}
