C/C++ C++ trouble erasing elements from a <vector>

[FrostScYthe]

Hi, I've been having trouble erasing elements from a <vector> (that is from the STL of C++)

See I declared 2 vectors V and S, V contains let's say all the elements, while S is a solution set which contains some elements that are classified... well yeah...

I need to create V-S which is a vector that has all the elements in V that are not in S.. I was planning on doing this by making a copy of V into V_S and then erasing every element I add to S from V_S.

sort of like this:

S.push_back(x);
V_S.erase(x);

I get an error... Why?

What kind of error do you get? Compilation error?
I would suggest you to iterate with a loop through all the elements of V_S and check with a vector method (I think called exists()) if each element also exists in vector S. If yes just remove them.

You have to pass an iterator to erase, not the element you want to remove.
