Data Structures and Algorithms with the C++ STL

This is the code repository for Data Structures and Algorithms with the C++ STL, published by Packt.

A guide for modern C++ practitioners

What is this book about?

While the Standard Template Library (STL) offers a rich set of tools for data structures and algorithms, navigating its intricacies can be daunting for intermediate C++ developers without expert guidance. This book offers a thorough exploration of the STL’s components, covering fundamental data structures, advanced algorithms, and concurrency features.

This book covers the following exciting features:

  • Streamline data handling using the std::vector
  • Master advanced usage of STL iterators
  • Optimize memory in STL containers
  • Implement custom STL allocators
  • Apply sorting and searching with STL algorithms
  • Craft STL-compatible custom types
  • Manage concurrency and ensure thread safety in STL
  • Harness the power of parallel algorithms in STL

Instructions and Navigations

All of the code is organized into folders.

The code will look like the following:

template <typename T,
 typename AllocatorPolicy = std::allocator<T>>
class CustomVector {
 // Implementation using AllocatorPolicy for memory
 // allocation
};

Following is what you need for this book: This book is for intermediate-level C++ developers looking to enhance their software development skills. Familiarity with basic C++ syntax and object-oriented programming (OOP) as well as some exposure to data structures and algorithms is assumed. Tailored to software engineers, computer science students, and hobbyist programmers, this book delves into C++ STL for practical application, performance enhancement, and efficient coding practices.
