Publisher's Synopsis
This is a reference and tutorial to STL (Standard Template Library), part of the C++ standard. STL provides programmers with a catalogue of reusable software components plus the rules that govern how to use them. It also allows developers to modify and apply STL from project to project, or platform to platform, rather than rewriting the code (or relearning a new library) each time. Using STL accelerates the development process and provides a more cost-effective and time-efficient standardized approach to C++ programming.
