Template Function thrust::remove_copy(InputIterator, InputIterator, OutputIterator, const T&)

Function Documentation

template<typename InputIterator, typename OutputIterator, typename T>
OutputIterator thrust::remove_copy(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, OutputIterator result, const T &value)

remove_copy copies elements that are not equal to value from the range [first, last) to a range beginning at result. The return value is the end of the resulting range. This operation is stable, meaning that the relative order of the elements that are copied is the same as in the range [first, last).

The following code snippet demonstrates how to use

remove_copy to copy a sequence of numbers to an output range while omitting a value of interest.
Return

An OutputIterator pointing to the end of the resulting range of elements which are not equal to value.

Pre

The range [first, last) shall not overlap the range [result, result + (last - first)).

Parameters

  • first: The beginning of the range of interest.

  • last: The end of the range of interest.

  • result: The resulting range is copied to the sequence beginning at this location.

  • value: The value to omit from the copied range.

Template Parameters

  • InputIterator: is a model of Input Iterator, and InputIterator's value_type is convertible to a type in OutputIterator's set of value_types.

  • OutputIterator: is a model of Output Iterator.

  • T: is a model of Equality Comparable, and objects of type T can be compared for equality with objects of InputIterator's value_type.

const int N = 6;
int V[N] = {-2, 0, -1, 0, 1, 2};
int result[N-2];
thrust::remove_copy(V, V + N, result, 0);
// V remains {-2, 0, -1, 0, 1, 2}
// result is now {-2, -1, 1, 2}
