Example

// list_remove.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <list>
#include <iostream>

int main( ) 
{
   using namespace std;
   list <int> c1;
   list <int>::iterator c1_Iter, c2_Iter;
   
   c1.push_back( 5 );
   c1.push_back( 100 );
   c1.push_back( 5 );
   c1.push_back( 200 );
   c1.push_back( 5 );
   c1.push_back( 300 );

   cout << "The initial list is c1 =";
   for ( c1_Iter = c1.begin( ); c1_Iter != c1.end( ); c1_Iter++ )
      cout << " " << *c1_Iter;
   cout << endl;
   
   list <int> c2 = c1;
   c2.remove( 5 );
   cout << "After removing elements with value 5, the list becomes c2 =";
   for ( c2_Iter = c2.begin( ); c2_Iter != c2.end( ); c2_Iter++ )
      cout << " " << *c2_Iter;
   cout << endl;
}
The initial list is c1 = 5 100 5 200 5 300
After removing elements with value 5, the list becomes c2 = 100 200 300
