Hi,

In the situation you presented, the & in your "int count1 = 
count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(), &lessThan20Function);" line is 
superfluous.  Although it is perfectly good code, and acceptable to all 
compilers.

In my experience, it would be omitted.  By convention.

Also in my experience, there is a preference to function objects over 
function pointers.

For some really neat stuff, the BOOST (www.boost.org) library has a lambda 
library, which would allow you to put the body of the predicate right in 
your count_if statement -- and in a quite abbreviated form.  It'd look 
something like...

int count = count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(), _1 > 20);

HTH,
--Eljay
