Effective STL 47 Avoid producing write-only code

you would like to get rid of all the elements in the vector whose value is less than x and that occur after the last value at least as big as y.

vector<int> v;int x, y;...v.erase(    remove_if(v.find_if(v.rbegin(), v.rend(),bind2nd(greater_equal<int>(), y).base(), v.end(), bind2nd(less<int>(), x),     v.end()    );

typedef vector<int>::iterator VecIntIter;VectIntIter rangeBegin = find_if(v.rbegin(), v.rend(), bind2nd(greater_equal<int>()).base();v.erase(remove_if(rangeBegin, v.end(), bind2nd(less<int>(), x)), v.end());
