C++20 STL Cookbook

By: Bill Weinman

Overview of this book

Fast, efficient, and flexible, the C++ programming language has come a long way and is used in every area of the industry to solve many problems. The latest version C++20 will see programmers change the way they code as it brings a whole array of features enabling the quick deployment of applications. This book will get you up and running with using the STL in the best way possible. Beginning with new language features in C++20, this book will help you understand the language's mechanics and library features and offer insights into how they work. Unlike other books, the C++20 STL Cookbook takes an implementation-specific, problem-solution approach that will help you overcome hurdles quickly. You'll learn core STL concepts, such as containers, algorithms, utility classes, lambda expressions, iterators, and more, while working on real-world recipes. This book is a reference guide for using the C++ STL with its latest capabilities and exploring the cutting-edge features in functional programming and lambda expressions. By the end of the book C++20 book, you'll be able to leverage the latest C++ features and save time and effort while solving tasks elegantly using the STL.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, file names, file extensions, path names, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The insert() method takes an initializer_list and calls the private function _insert():"

A block of code is set as follows:

int main() {
    Frac f{ 5, 3 };
    cout << format("Frac: {}\n", f);
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

for(uint64_t i{ 2 }; i < n / 2; ++i) {
    if(n % i == 0) return false;
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ ./producer-consumer
Got 0 from the queue
Got 1 from the queue
Got 2 from the queue
finished!

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select System info from the Administration panel."
