What is Erase-Remove?

The Erase-Remove idiom is a common C++ technique used to efficiently remove elements from a container (like std::vector, std::list, etc.). It involves using std::remove (or std::remove_if) to move the elements to be removed to the end of the container, followed by using the container's erase() method to actually remove those elements, effectively shrinking the container.
