How do I remove an item from a stl vector with a certain value?

by

std::remove does not actually erase elements from the container: it moves the elements to be removed to the end of the container, and returns the new end iterator which can be passed to container_type::erase to do the actual removal of the extra elements that are now at the end of the container:

std::vector<int> vec;
// .. put in some values ..
int int_to_remove = n;
vec.erase(std::remove(vec.begin(), vec.end(), int_to_remove), vec.end());
