Re: [Boost-users] best way to remove duplicates from forwardIterator [startIter, endIter]

Hi, Given a collection in terms of [startIter, endIter] how can obtain [uniqBeginIter, uniqEndIter] that represents unique elements of the original container. I can always explicitly instantiate a set S of [startIter, endIter] and use [S.begin(), S.end()]. Is it possible to express this in terms of algorithms.

Hi! I thought a bit about this issue. If you would like to use an algorithm to just make your code more descriptive, you still can achieve it by using typedef. typedef std::set make_unique_elements; make_unique_elements uniques_(startIter, endIter); Hope that helps, Ovanes
