Algorithms
The use of containers from the standard library is widely employed among C++ programmers. It's rare to find C++ code bases without references to std::vector or std::string, for example. However, in my experience, standard library algorithms are much less frequently used, even though they offer the same kind of benefits as containers:
- They can be used as building blocks when solving complex problems
- They are well documented (including references, books, and videos)
- Many C++ programmers are already familiar with them
- Their space and runtime costs are known (complexity guarantees)
- Their implementations are well crafted and efficient
If this wasn't enough, C++ features such as lambdas, execution policies, concepts, and ranges have ...
