Introduction

Explore essential C++ Utility classes that help manage heterogeneous collections containing multiple types. Understand how to use std::optional for optional values, std::pair and std::tuple for fixed-size collections, and std::any and std::variant for dynamic-size containers. Discover practical examples that demonstrate these utilities, enhancing your ability to write safer and more expressive C++ code.

We'll cover the following...

This chapter will introduce some essential classes from the C++ Utility library. Some of the metaprogramming techniques presented in the previous chapter will be used in order to work effectively with collections that contain elements of different types.

C++ containers are homogenous, ...
