Written in a clear, concise, and uncompromising style, STL Programming from the Ground Up is a fast paced tutorial that provides dozens of ready-to-run examples, programming pointers, and insider tips. It starts with the basics, including a brief history of the STL and its recent standardization, and then describes all of its components. Detailed chapters cover the various containers, algorithms, iterators, function objects, and adapters supported by the STL. You'll even learn how to create your own containers and algorithms! Throughout, you'll find Herb's "In Depth" boxes packed with critical insights and practical techniques. Topics include and overview of STL; The sequence containers: vector, list, deque; The associate container: map, multimap, set, and multiset; The container adapaters: queue, stack, and priority_queue; Algorithms; Function Objects; Binders, negators, adn predicates; Creating your own containers, and much more!
