15.5 STANDARD TEMPLATE LIBRARY
The concept of template is very useful. Hence, all compiler writers provide their users with what is called as standard template library. It contains implementations of many useful abstract data types (ADT). Programmers have to simply use these data types and related functions. One does not have to change even one line.
