NAMEremove_copy
- Moves desired elements to the front of a container, and returns an
iterator that describes where the sequence of desired elements ends.
SYNOPSIS
#include <algorithm>
template <class InputIterator,
class OutputIterator,
class T>
OutputIterator remove_copy (InputIterator first,
InputIterator last,
OutputIterator result,
const T& value);
DESCRIPTION
The remove_copy algorithm copies all the elements referred to by the
iterator i in the range [first, last) for which the following corre‐
sponding condition does not hold: *i == value. remove_copy returns
an iterator that points to the end of the resulting range. remove_copy
is stable, which means that the relative order of the elements in the
resulting range is the same as their relative order in the original
range. The elements in the original sequence are not altered by
remove_copy.
COMPLEXITY
Exactly last1 - first1 applications of the corresponding predicate are
done.

ostream_iterator<int,char>(cout," "));
cout << endl << endl;
//
// Remove the 7.
//
vector<int>::iterator result = remove(v.begin(),
v.end(), 7);
//
// Delete dangling elements from the vector.
//
v.erase(result, v.end());
copy(v.begin(),v.end(),
ostream_iterator<int,char>(cout," "));
cout << endl << endl;
//
// Remove everything beyond the fourth element.
//
result = remove_if(v.begin()+4, v.begin()+8,
all_true<int>());
//
// Delete dangling elements.
//
v.erase(result, v.end());
copy(v.begin(),v.end(),
ostream_iterator<int,char>(cout," "));
cout << endl << endl;
//
// Now remove all 3s on output.
//
remove_copy(v.begin(), v.end(), <br> ostream_itera‐
tor<int,char>(cout," "), 3);
cout << endl << endl;
//
// Now remove everything satisfying predicate on output.
// Should yield a NULL vector.
//
remove_copy_if(v.begin(), v.end(), <br> ostream_itera‐
tor<int,char>(cout," "),

If your compiler does not support default template parameters, you
always need to supply the Allocator template argument. For instance,
you need to write:
vector<int, allocator<int> >
instead of:
vector<int>
If your compiler does not support namespaces, then you do not need the
using declaration for std.
