SUMMARY
=======
The sample code below illustrates how to use the remove STL function in Visual
C++.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Required Header
---------------
<algorithm>
Prototype
---------
template<class ForwardIterator, class Type> inline
void remove(ForwardIterator first,
ForwardIterator last,
const T& old_value,
const T& new_value)
NOTE: The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the
header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.
Description
-----------
The replace algorithm replaces all elements that match old_value from the range
[first, last) with new_value.
Sample Code
-----------
NOTE: In the first line of the sample code section, /GX is equivalent to /EHsc in
VC++ .NET and is set by default.

void main()

const int VECTOR_SIZE = 8 ;
// Define a template class vector of integers

//Define an iterator for template class vector of integer
typedef IntVector::iterator IntVectorIt ;

start = Numbers.begin() ; // location of first
// element of Numbers
end = Numbers.end() ; // one past the location
// last element of Numbers
//Initialize vector Numbers
Numbers[0] = 10 ;
Numbers[1] = 20 ;
Numbers[2] = 10 ;
Numbers[3] = 15 ;
Numbers[4] = 12 ;
Numbers[5] = 7 ;
Numbers[6] = 9 ;
Numbers[7] = 10 ;
cout << "Before calling replace" << endl ;
// print content of Numbers
cout << "Numbers { " ;
for(it = start; it != end; it++)
cout << *it << " " ;
cout << " }\n" << endl ;
// remove all elements from Numbers that match 10
replace(start, end, 10, 35) ;
cout << "After calling replace, to replace all 10's with 35" << endl ;
// print content of Numbers
cout << "Numbers { " ;
for(it = start; it != end; it++)
cout << *it << " " ;
cout << " }\n" << endl ;
}
Program Output is:
Before calling replace
Numbers { 10 20 10 15 12 7 9 10 }
After calling replace, to replace all 10's with 35
Numbers { 35 20 35 15 12 7 9 35 }
