How to use the replace_if STL function in Visual C++ (156743)

MORE INFORMATION

Required Header

   <algorithm>
				

   template<class ForwardIterator, class Predicate, class Type> inline
   void replace_if(ForwardIterator first,

                   ForwardIterator last,
                   Predicate pred,
                   const Type& 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_if algorithm replaces all elements from the range [first, last) that cause the predicate to return true with value.

Sample Code

NOTE: In the first line of the sample code section, /GX is equivalent to /EHsc in Visual C++ .NET or Visual C++ 2005 and is set by default.

    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_if" << endl ;

    // print content of Numbers
    cout << "Numbers { " ;
    for(it = start; it != end; it++)
        cout << *it << " " ;
    cout << " }\n" << endl ;

    // replace all elements from Numbers that are <= 10 with 4
     replace_if(start, end, bind2nd(less_equal<int>(), 10), 4 ) ;

    cout << "After calling replace_if" << endl ;

    // print content of Numbers
    cout << "Numbers { " ;
    for(it = start; it != end; it++)
        cout << *it << " " ;
    cout << " }\n" << endl ;

}
				

Program Output is:

Before calling replace_if
Numbers { 10 20 10 15 12 7 9 10  }

After calling replace_if
Numbers { 4 20 4 15 12 4 4 4  }
