This quick reference is a condensed guide to the essential data structures algorithms and
functions provided by the C++17 Standard Library. It does not explain the C++ language or
syntax but is accessible to anyone with basic C++ knowledge or programming experience. Even
the most experienced C++ programmer will learn a thing or two from it and find it a useful
memory-aid. It is hard to remember all the possibilities details and intricacies of the vast
and growing Standard Library. This handy reference guide is therefore indispensable to any C++
programmer. It offers a condensed well-structured summary of all essential aspects of the C++
Standard Library. No page-long repetitive examples or obscure rarely used features. Instead
everything you need to know and watch out for in practice is outlined in a compact
to-the-point style interspersed with practical tips and well-chosen clarifying examples. This
new edition is updated to include all Standard Library changes in C++17 including the new
vocabulary types std::string_view any optional and variant parallel algorithms the file
system library specialized mathematical functions and more. What You Will Learn Gain the
essentials that the C++ Standard Library has to offer Use containers to efficiently store and
retrieve your data Inspect and manipulate your data with algorithms See how lambda expressions
allow for elegant use of algorithms Discover what the standard string class provides and how to
use it Write localized applications Work with file and stream-based I O Prevent memory leaks
with smart pointers Write safe and efficient multi-threaded code using the threading libraries
Who This Book Is For All C++ programmers irrespective of their proficiency with the language
or the Standard Library. A secondary audience is developers who are new to C++ but not new to
