The C++ Standard Template Library (STL) is a general-purpose library of generic algorithms and data structures. This course is an intermediate-to-advanced level, hands-on programming course that thoroughly explores all of the STL components. Its purpose is to make a programming task much easier by providing extensive components that can be combined in an application. It also provides a framework into which different programming problems can be dissected.
