The powerful standard library

C++ comes with a feature-rich and powerful standard library. Many functions that required C developers to use third-party libraries are now part of the standard C++ library. This means less external dependencies, more stable and predictable behavior, and improved portability between hardware architectures.

The C++ standard library comes with containers built on top of the most commonly used data structures, such as arrays, binary trees, and hash tables. These containers are generic and efficiently cover most of the developer's everyday needs. Developers do not need to spend time and effort creating their own, often error-prone, implementations of the essential data structures.

The containers are carefully designed ...
