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

C++ has with `std::stack`, `std::queue` and `std::priority_queue` three special sequential containers. I guess, most of you know these classic data structures from your education. 

The adaptors for containers

* support a reduced interface for existing sequential containers,
* can not be used with algorithms of the Standard Template Library,
* are class templates which are parametrised by their data type and their container (`std::vector`, `std::list` and `std::deque`),
* use by default `std::deque` as the internal sequential container: 

In this section, we will tackle three advanced types of sequential containers which are built on std::deque.
