C++ Day 39 STL Containers (Deep Understanding & Real Usage) Till now, you already know arrays, vectors, loops, and STL algorithms. Today, we go one step deeper and understand STL containers , which are the backbone of modern C++ programming. In real projects and competitive coding, choice of container matters a lot. 1. What are STL Containers? STL containers are data structures provided by C++ to store data efficiently. They handle: memory management resizing element access performance optimization You focus on logic , not memory handling. 2. Categories of STL Containers STL containers are mainly divided into: Sequence Containers Associative Containers Unordered Containers Container Adapters 3. Sequence Containers These store data in sequence . 3.1 Vector Most used container in C++. vector< int > v; Key Features: Dynamic size Contiguous memory Fast random access Slower insertion in middle Example: v. push_...
Great! On ** day 8 ** of a specific C ++ course, you will usually go into one of these main subjects: , ## ✅ ** string in C ++ ** Strings are sequence of characters. C ++ provides two main methods of working with them: 1. ** C-style strings ** (character arrays) 2. ** c ++ 'string' class ** (from standard library) We will focus on both. , ### 🔹 1. ** C-style strings (character arrays) ** `` `CPP #INCLUDE <iostream> #INCLUDE <CSTRING> using namespace std; int main() { Four names [20]; Cout << "Enter your name:"; Cin >> Name; Cout << "Hello," << Name << "!" << Endl; Return 0; , , #### Useful C-Style String Functions' <cstring> `: * `Strlen () - String length * `Strcpy ()` - Copy Strings * 'Strcat () ` - Constenate * 'Strcmp () ` - Compare `` `CPP Char Str1 [] = "Hello"; char str2 [] = "world"; Cout << Strcat (Str1, Str2); // Hello Worl...
