Study Notes
History of STL
- The Standard Template Library (STL) was originally designed by Alexander Stepanov and Meng Lee at Hewlett-Packard.
Components of STL
- The STL provides four components: algorithms, containers, iterators, and function objects.
Relationship between Algorithms and Containers
- STL algorithms operate on containers, but are decoupled from them, allowing for greater flexibility and reusability.
Polymorphism in STL
- The STL uses templates to provide polymorphism, allowing algorithms and containers to work with different data types.
Origin of STL
- The STL was created as a collection of generic, reusable containers and algorithms for the C++ programming language.
