Standard Library
Here we discuss different data structures available in the standard
library. This is not meant to be comprehensive, but rather to give
a brief overview of the available types.

What I've presented should be enough to get a beginner started.
However, it helps to have other references (indeed, the more the merrier).
So here are some books that in my opinion do an excellent job
of describing the standard library:
- Accelerated C++, Andrew Koenig and Barbera Moo.
The authors are leading authorities on C++. This book teaches C++
to beginners, but takes the innovative approach of teaching the
library first. The end result is a book where all the code looks
like ``real'' C++ code (as opposed to the usual prehistoric C-like
dialect one sees in other texts) Essential reading for students and
instructors.
- The C++ Standard Library, Josuttis.
An in-depth reference book on the library. This is suitable for
intermediate and advanced/professional programmers. Don'tlet
it leave your desk!
