What is the STL

I'm not a C++ coder, thus I have trouble comprehending the explanations on websites.

I'm not familiar with containers or iterators, and I have no aspirations to learn C++ in the near future.

So, to put it simply, what is the STL and what can it do for me?

How does it stack up against the Python Standard Library or glibc?

What is the best way to use a HashMap in C++?

The ordered and unordered map containers (std::map and std::unordered map) are included in the standard library. The items in an ordered map are sorted by key, and insert and access are in O (log n). For ordered maps, the standard library often use red black trees. However, this is only an implementation detail. Insert and access are in O in an unordered map (1). It is simply another term for a hashtable. An illustration using (ordered) std::map: #include <map> #include <iostream> #include <cassert> int main(int argc, char ...READ MORE
