remove value from vector c++ code example

Example 1: remove value from vector c++

#include 
#include 

// using the erase-remove idiom

std::vector 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++ remove element from vector

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

Example 3: remove element by index from vector c++

// Why not setup a lambda you can use again & again
auto removeByIndex = 
  [](std::vector &vec, unsigned int index)
{
	// This is the meat & potatoes
  	vec.erase(vec.begin() + index);
};

// Then you can throw whatever vector at it you desire
std::vector stringvec = {"Hello", "World"};
// Will remove index 1: "World"
removeByIndex(stringvec, 1);
// Vector of integers, we will use push_back
std::vector intvec;
intvec.push_back(33);
intvec.push_back(66);
intvec.push_back(99);
// Will remove index 2: 99
removeByIndex(intvec, 2);
