Digging into Data Structures and Algorithms in STL

For programmers, understanding data structures is crucial. The majority of the time, the way you store your data determines the application’s overall efficiency. Take, for example, an email client. You may create an email client that displays the 10 most recent emails and it will have the best user interface available; showing the 10 most recent emails will operate on nearly every device. After 2 years of using your email application, the user will have received hundreds of thousands of emails. When the user needs to find an email, your data structure expertise will come in handy. The way you store the hundreds of thousands of emails and the methods (algorithms) you employ to sort and search them will set your application apart from the others.

While working on different projects, programmers face many problems and try to find the best solutions to those problems – by saying best, I mean the most efficient ones. Using...
