Explore the full potential of C++ by mastering the standard library.

Become a C++ Programmer

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.

C++ Standard Library

fThe ordered associative containers `std::map` and `std::multimap` associate their key with a value. Both are defined in the header `<map>`. `std::set` and `std::multiset` need the header `<set>`. 

All four ordered containers are parametrized by their type, their allocator, and their comparison function. The containers have default values for the allocator and the comparison function, depending on the type. The declaration of `std::map` and `std::set` show this very nicely.    

Let's start our discussion on ordered associative containers by defining some simple characteristics.
