21 | The Standard Template Library (STL) is a general-purpose library |
---|
22 | of generic algorithms and data structures. It is part of the C++ |
---|
23 | Standard Library. Nowadays, most compiler vendors include a version |
---|
24 | on STL in their products, and there are commercial implementations |
---|
25 | available as well. |
