Chapter Summary

Defined Terms

In addition to the built-in types covered in Chapter 2, C++ defines a rich library of abstract data types. Among the most important library types are string, which supports variable-length character strings, and vector, which defines variable-size collections. Associated with string and vector are companion types known as iterators, which are used to access the characters in a string or the elements in a vector.

The string and vector types defined by the library are abstractions of the more primitive built-in array ...
