remove_if() Function in C++

This C++ program demonstrates the remove_if() algorithm. The program creates a vector of strings and removes elements whose first letter is ‘A’ using predicate which is passed as a parameter to the remove_if algorithm which removes elements for which the predicate returns true.

Here is the source code of the C++ program which demonstrates the remove_if() algorithm. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
