(6) (since C++20)

Copies elements from the source range [firstlast), to the destination range beginning at result, omitting the elements which (after being projected by proj) satisfy specific criteria. The behavior is undefined if the source and destination ranges overlap.

1) Ignores all elements that are equal to value.
3) Ignores all elements for which predicate pred returns true.
2,4) Same as (1,3), but uses r as the source range, as if using ranges::begin(r) as first, and ranges::end(r) as last.

The function-like entities described on this page are niebloids, that is:

In practice, they may be implemented as function objects, or with special compiler extensions.

Contents

[edit] Parameters

first, last - the source range of elements
r - the source range of elements
result - the beginning of the destination range
value - the value of the elements not to copy
comp - the binary predicate to compare the projected elements
proj - the projection to apply to the elements

[edit] Return value

{last, result + N}, where N is the number of elements copied.

[edit] Complexity

Exactly ranges::distance(first, last) applications of the corresponding predicate comp and any projection proj.

[edit] Notes

The algorithm is stable, i.e. preserves the relative order of the copied elements.
