    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.
