Abstract
In this chapter we examine the Standard Template Library (STL). The STL is a comprehensive library of template functions and classes that are suppiled with all ANSI C++ compatible compilers. The objective of the STL is to provide programmers with a library of frequently used data structures and functions. In doing so a programmer’s code will generally be more robust, efficient and portable than if the programmer had developed her/his own data structure or function.
