►Lesson Description: In this lesson I give you a little bit of history and a brief overview of the standard template library (STL). The STL in my mind makes a key contribution by providing algorithms, containers, and iterators as building blocks for generic programming. Understanding this idea in C++ can help give you a model for computation and programming in the C++ programming language.

Thank you CppReference contains a lot. Quite intimidating for newbies, but thanks for always emphasizing, it now my Bible when things go Gaga. The course has now progressed from propeller engines to jet engines on autopilot (STL).

Cheers! Great analogy 😁

Thank you. Never disappoint after your videos, it's always more than expectation.

Hi, i start use intensive of stl library with sfml and Imgui; it s very fantastic, and by start reading a book of Pr.E.Knuth Art of Computer Programming. I think the principle of C++ taken directly or indirectly from these books. Thanks Mike.

[@Blake9896]

I always loved your KZbin videos

[@MikeShah]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@Andrei-cv1kn]

Thanks a lot!

Hi professor, in your classes do you obligate your students in homework, projects or exams use STL for example to create linked lists? Thank you

[@MikeShah]

Depends on the class and level of student, but my general advice is to use the STL in C++. If you're doing more performance oriented programming for a well defined problem, it may be better to build exactly what you need and create a custom data structure. 🙂

I wouldn't call c++ a batteries included language. Yes, they're are many tools, but there is also a lot of assembly required. The string library is missing a lot of functionality with respect to something like python, especially in terms of Unicode support and just basic methods available. Yes, you can build them from other tools, but a strong library should be fully featured. Having said that, I am enjoying my time learning the language.

[@MikeShah]

Fair enough 🙂

Couple of weeks ago i saw boost lib and Blast lib (presented by some one in CppCon); but what’s think (property of criticism) that make some lib add to stl than other.

[@MikeShah]

Lots of times after being proven in other libraries features get added to STL 🙂

[@maxwen6447]

can i recommend breaking out the STL videos into their own playlist? thanks for these videos!

[@MikeShah]

Noted -- will consider it. Currently they're on courses.mshah.io in the large playlist in their own section.

[@maxwen6447]

@@MikeShah thanks I'll definitely start referring to your site more often
