[section:erase erase]

[heading Prototype]

``
template<class Container>
Container& erase(
    Container& target,
    iterator_range<typename Container::iterator> to_erase);
``

[heading Description]

`erase` the iterator range `to_erase` from the container `target`.

`remove_erase` performs the frequently used combination equivalent to `target.erase(std::remove(target.begin(), target.end(), value), target.end());`

`remove_erase_if` performs the frequently used combination equivalent to `target.erase(std::remove_if(target.begin(), target.end(), pred), target.end());`

[heading Definition]

Defined in the header file `boost/range/algorithm_ext/erase.hpp`

[heading Requirements]

# `Container` supports erase of an iterator range.

[heading Complexity]

Linear. Proprotional to `distance(to_erase)`.
