What does the following syntax with the combination of erase and remove mean?
c++, containers, erase
Solution
It removes all elements equal to `99` from container `c`.
`std::remove` doesn't actually remove any elements. It moves all the elements of interest to the second part of the container, and returns an iterator indicating the first of these. Then the `erase` member function takes an iterator range to actually remove the elements from the container.
See erase-remove idiom.
