Part II. Containers and Algorithms
CONTENTS
Chapter 9 Sequential Containers
Chapter 10 Associative Containers
Chapter 11 Generic Algorithms
We’ve said that C++ is about efficient programming with abstractions. The Standard Library is a good example: The library defines a number of container classes and a family of generic algorithms that let us write programs that are succinct, abstract, and efficient. The library worries about bookkeeping details—in particular, taking care of memory management—so that our programs can worry about the actual problems we need to solve.
In Chapter 3 we introduced the vector container type. We’ll learn more in Chapter 9 about vector and the other sequential container types provided by the library. We’ll also cover ...
