Module 3 of Skill Path: Become a C++ Programmer

C++ Standard Library

Module Overview

The C++ standard library is a collection of all the tools and utilities available in C++. It received its latest update in 2017, known as C++17. The update introduces many new features that further optimize our code. This module will help us fully grasp C++ and use it to its full potential.

Module Objectives

Learn about the functional programming, pairs, reference wrappers, and smart pointers.

Understand the concepts of type traits and new multithreading capabilities of C++.

Implement different types of containers including sequential and associative containers.

Understand how iterators act as glue between containers and algorithms.

Learn how different algorithms work with containers and their elements.
