Opis

C++ has now been around for several years, but continues to offer substantial improvements. One such improvement is the standard template library (STL), soon to be incorporated into the C++ official language standard. STL provides programmers with a catalogue of reusable software components plus the rules that govern how to use them. The STL (in draft form) is already starting to be incorporated into compilers such as Borland C++, 5.0 and Visual C++, 4.0. Other compilers support the STL and it is available for free on the Internet.

"It is the first book that I have read that makes STL quickly usable by working programmers" Francis Glassborow, Chair of The Association of C & C++ Users (ACCU) STL for C++ programmers Leen Ammeraal The Standard Template Library (STL) provides many useful and generally applicable programming tools. This book combines reference material and a well–paced tutorial to get you past the basics quickly. Small, complete programs illustrate the key STL features such as containers, algorithms, iterators and function objects. A section is devoted to the new string data type. All STL algorithms are formally presented by their prototypes and then informally described to show how to use them in practice. Concepts are well illustrated with a large number of example programs all of which are available via ftp (for access details please refer to the preface of the book or Wiley′s website). Finally, special examples are given to explain the advanced notions of function objects and function adaptors, including predicates, binders and negators.
