Chapter Overview

Learn how standardized STL algorithms enhance C++ code by operating seamlessly across container types. Discover how to use algorithms like accumulate, sort, and transform with traditional containers and C++20 ranges and views to write clear, efficient, and maintainable code.

We'll cover the following...

Much of the power of the STL is in the standardization of container interfaces. If a container has a particular capability, there's a good chance that the interface for that capability is standardized across container types. This standardization makes possible a library of algorithms that operate seamlessly across containers and sequences sharing a common interface.


For example, if we want to sum all the elements ...
