Syntax:
</p>
<pre class="c code c++" style="font-family:monospace;"> <span class="co2">#include <algorithm></span>
<span class="kw4">void</span> replace<span class="br0">(</span> forward_iterator start<span class="sy0">,</span> forward_iterator end<span class="sy0">,</span> <span class="kw4">const</span> TYPE<span class="sy0">&</span> old_value<span class="sy0">,</span> <span class="kw4">const</span> TYPE<span class="sy0">&</span> new_value <span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">;</span></pre>
<p>
The replace() function sets every element in the range [start,end) that is
equal to old_value to have new_value instead.
</p>
<p>
replace() runs in <a href="../../complexity.html" class="wikilink1" title="complexity">linear time</a>.
