std::remove_if
C++98 · The Foundation · Compiler flag: -std=c++98
Explanation
Moves elements not satisfying a predicate to the front.
Real-World Scenario
Remove negative values from a financial report.
Quick Snippet

std::remove_if(vec.begin(), vec.end(), isNegative);Full Example
remove_if.cpp
// CodeNebula - C++98 Example: remove_if
// Compile: g++ -std=c++98 -Wall -Wextra -o example remove_if.cpp
// std::remove_if "removes" elements for which a predicate returns true.
// Like std::remove, it shifts elements and returns a new logical end.
// Use erase-remove_if idiom to actually shrink the container.

// Remove odd numbers using erase-remove_if
std::vector<int> evens(v);

// Expected output:
// Original: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
// After remove odds: 2 4 6 8 10
// After remove < 5: 5 6 7 8 9 10
