An algorithm that replaces elements in a collection with new values

#include <algorithm>

namespace std {
  template <class ForwardIterator,
            class Predicate,
            class T>
  void replace_if(ForwardIterator start,
                  ForwardIterator finish,
                  Predicate pred
                  const T& new_value);
}

The replace_if() algorithm replaces element referred to by iterator i in the range [start, finish) with new_value when the following condition holds: pred(*i) == true.

Exactly finish - start applications of the predicate are done.
