erase c++ code example

Example 1: remove element by index from vector c++

// Deletes the second element (vec[1])
vec.erase(vec.begin() + 1);

// Deletes the second through third elements (vec[1], vec[2])
vec.erase(vec.begin() + 1, vec.begin() + 3);

Example 2: 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 3: delete from front in vector c++

// Deleting first element
vector_name.erase(vector_name.begin());

// Deleting xth element from start
vector_name.erase(vector_name.begin()+(x-1));

// Deleting from the last
vector_name.pop_back();

Example 4: vector erase specific element

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

Example 5: c++ remove element from vector

vector.erase(position) // remove certain position
// or
vector.erase(left,right) // remove positions within range

Example 6: c++ erase remove

std::vector<int> v = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
v.erase(std::remove(v.begin(), v.end(), 5), v.end());
// v will be {0 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9}
