template<class ForwardIterator>
ForwardIterator unique(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last);
template<class ForwardIterator, class BinaryPredicate>
ForwardIterator unique(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last,
BinaryPredicate pred);
Effects: For a nonempty range, eliminates all but the first element from every consecutive group of equivalent elements referred to by the iterator i in the range [first + 1,last) for which the following conditions hold: *(i - 1) == *i or pred(*(i - 1), *i) != false.
Requires: The comparison function shall be an equivalence relation. The type of *first shall satisfy the MoveAssignable requirements (Table [moveassignable]).
Returns: The end of the resulting range.
Complexity: For nonempty ranges, exactly (last - first) - 1 applications of the corresponding predicate.
template<class InputIterator, class OutputIterator>
OutputIterator
unique_copy(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,
OutputIterator result);
template<class InputIterator, class OutputIterator,
class BinaryPredicate>
OutputIterator
unique_copy(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,
OutputIterator result, BinaryPredicate pred);
Requires: The comparison function shall be an equivalence relation. The ranges [first,last) and [result,result+(last-first)) shall not overlap. The expression *result = *first shall be valid. If neither InputIterator nor OutputIterator meets the requirements of forward iterator then the value type of InputIterator shall be CopyConstructible (Table [copyconstructible]) and CopyAssignable (Table [copyassignable]). Otherwise CopyConstructible is not required.
Effects: Copies only the first element from every consecutive group of equal elements referred to by the iterator i in the range [first,last) for which the following corresponding conditions hold: *i == *(i - 1) or pred(*i, *(i - 1)) != false.
Returns: The end of the resulting range.
Complexity: For nonempty ranges, exactly last - first - 1 applications of the corresponding predicate.
