The information in this article applies to:

 - The Standard C++ Library, used with:
    - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, versions 4.2, 5.0, 6.0 
    - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition, versions 4.2, 5.0, 6.0 
    - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Learning Edition, version 6.0

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.

       IntVector Numbers(VECTOR_SIZE) ;   //vector containing numbers

       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  }
