Making a Case for std::vector
This chapter discusses the reasons behind std::vector’s popularity by examining the performance metrics and real-world applications that make it a go-to container for many developers. By comparing std::vector against other containers, you will clearly understand its strengths and recognize scenarios where alternatives might be more suitable. Such insights will empower C++ developers to make informed container choices, leading to more efficient and effective code.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics as they relate to std::vector:
- Performance considerations
- Practical use cases
- Versatility and efficiency
Performance considerations
When choosing a data container in C++, performance often ranks at ...
