The standard library provides various types of containers that store collections of objects; the library includes sequence containers (such as vector
, array
, or list
), ordered and unordered associative containers (such as set
and map
), and container adapters that do not store data but provide an adapted interface towards a sequence container (such as stack
and queue
). All of them are implemented as class templates, which means they can be used with any type (providing it meets the container requirements). Though you should always use the container that is the most appropriate for a particular problem (which not only provides good performance in terms of speed of inserts, deletes, access to elements, and memory usage but also makes the code easy to read and maintain), the default choice should be vector
. In this recipe, we will see why vector
should be the preferred choice for a container and what are the most common operations with vector
.

Overview of this book
C++ is one of the most widely used programming languages. Fast, efficient, and flexible, it is used to solve many problems. The latest versions of C++ have seen programmers change the way they code, giving up on the old-fashioned C-style programming and adopting modern C++ instead.
Beginning with the modern language features, each recipe addresses a specific problem, with a discussion that explains the solution and offers insight into how it works. You will learn major concepts about the core programming language as well as common tasks faced while building a wide variety of software. You will learn about concepts such as concurrency, performance, meta-programming, lambda expressions, regular expressions, testing, and many more in the form of recipes. These recipes will ensure you can make your applications robust and fast.
By the end of the book, you will understand the newer aspects of C++11/14/17 and will be able to overcome tasks that are time-consuming or would break your stride while developing.
