remove element from vector c++ by value 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: c++ vector erase by value

//wiki - erase-remove idiom
// Use g++ -std=c++11 or clang++ -std=c++11 to compile.

#include <algorithm>  // remove and remove_if
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>  // the general-purpose vector container

void Print(const std::vector<int>& vec) {
  for (const auto& i : vec) {
    std::cout << i << ' ';
  }
  std::cout << '\n';
}

int main() {
  // Initializes a vector that holds numbers from 0-9.
  std::vector<int> v = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
  Print(v);

  // Removes all elements with the value 5.
  v.erase(std::remove(v.begin(), v.end(), 5), v.end());
  Print(v);
}

/*
Output:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9

*/

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: 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 6: c++ remove element from vector

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