C++ Standard Library (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In C++, the C++ Standard Library is a collection of classes and functions, which are written in the core language and part of the C++ ISO Standard itself. The C++ Standard Library provides several generic containers, functions to utilise and manipulate these containers, function objects, generic strings and streams, support for some language features, and everyday functions for tasks such as finding the square root of a number. The C++ Standard Library also incorporates the ISO C90 C standard library. Features of the C++ Standard Library are declared within the std namespace. The C++ Standard Library is based upon conventions introduced by the Standard Template Library. Although the C++ Standard Library and the STL share many features, neither is a strict superset of the other. For example, the C++ Standard Library does not provide an slist container. In particular, the C++ Standard Library has also been influenced by the work of Alexander Stepanov and Meng Lee.
