I would say it is the best and optimized template library. It is fun learning and using STL. Hope you would enjoy learning. There are lot other sites that would help you learn STL. MSDN is also a good reference. All the best. -TJ Back to top Jigar Mehta Guest Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2005 12:56 pm    Post subject: Re: STL Question Can you please give an example of STL ?? which class (taking for example) are included in STL ??

No, CList and CArray are from MFC, not STL. -shez- Back to top Dietmar Kuehl Guest Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2005 2:56 pm    Post subject: Re: STL Question Jigar Mehta wrote: Quote: Can you please give an example of STL ?? What do you mean with "example of STL"? The "Standard Template Library", "STL" for short, is a library as specified by a paper by Alexander Stepanov and Meng Lee (see <http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/95/HPL-95-11.html>) which became an accepted proposal for the standard C++ lirary. Historically, the facilities described in the paper are what compromises the "STL". The term "STL" is today often confused with the standard C++ library. Quote: which class (taking for example) are included in STL ?? Actually, there are only very few classes included in the STL and those which are are essentially rather technical class you are probably not really interested in. However, the STL includes a fair amount of class and function templates plus, much more important than either of those, a set of concepts (in the paper the concepts were characterized through sets of requirements and I think the term "concept" was not used at that time). The class templates fall into several categories. There are class for - containers, e.g. 'std::vector', 'std::list', 'std::map' - iterators, e.g. 'std::reverse_iterator', 'std::ostream_iterator' - functors, e.g. 'std::less', 'std::plus' - traits, e.g. 'std::iterator_traits' There are function templates for - general algorithms, e.g. 'std::copy()', 'std::sort()' - numeric algorithms, e.g. 'std::accumulate()' - simplified object creation, e.g. 'std::back_inserter()' Quote: Is CList, CArray included in STL ??? No. There is a list and a choice of random access containers but with a rather different interface. -- <mailto:dietmar_kuehl (AT) yahoo (DOT) com> <http://www.dietmar-kuehl.de/> <http://www.contendix.com> - Software Development & Consulting Back to top Thomas Matthews Guest Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2005 7:29 pm    Post subject: Re: STL Question Walt L.
