remove element from a vector c++ 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: 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 3: c++ remove element from vector

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

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);
}
