erase value in vector 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: 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 4: remove element by value vector c++

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main(){
    vector<int> v;
    //Insert values 1 to 10
    v.push_back(20);
    v.push_back(10);
    v.push_back(30);
    v.push_back(20);
    v.push_back(40);
    v.push_back(20);
    v.push_back(10);

    vector<int>::iterator new_end;
    new_end = remove(v.begin(), v.end(), 20);

    for(int i=0;i<v.size(); i++){
        cout << v[i] << " ";
    }
    //Prints [10 30 40 10]
    return 0;
}

Example 5: 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);
}
