It's a C++ STL idiom.

No. It erases everything in the range defined by the _two_ iterators
being passed to it. And remove() copies the non-3 elements down to the
beginning of s, returning an iterator to the first element beyond them.

If you don't know this stuff, you'd do better to read a good book than
ask random questions here.
