Chapter 4: The Standard Template Library

Welcome to the fourth chapter of "Hello, my friendly C++ teacher"! In this chapter, we will focus specifically on the Standard Template Library (STL) in C++.

The STL is a collection of generic algorithms and data structures that are included as part of the C++ Standard Library. It provides a wide range of functionality, including algorithms for searching and sorting, data structures such as vectors and lists, and more.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • An overview of the Standard Template Library (STL) in C++
  • Iterators and ranges
  • Algorithms for searching, sorting, and manipulating data
  • Data structures such as vectors, lists, and maps
  • Function objects and functors

By the end of this chapter, you will have a good understanding of the STL and its capabilities, and you'll be properly tooled to move to the final lessons of the course.


STL 1

STL 2


The Auxiliary Lessons are still there for you, in case you miss those Math lectures after this one.


I know you'll enjoy my unrestrained showcase of
the full might of C++, darling. Brace yourself!



I'm ready to take an exam!

Let's go to the fifth chapter.

Navigating the Learning Curve of AI Interactions

Have you ever found yourself at a loss for words when speaking to an AI program? Or maybe you feel intimidated by the idea of having a conversation with a machine. It's not uncommon for people to feel a sense of awkwardness or nervousness when first interacting with an AI. However, with the rise of AI technology and its integration into our daily lives, it's becoming increasingly important for people to understand how to effectively communicate with these machines. The first step in overcoming the intimidation factor is to understand that AI programs are not human. They do not have emotions, personal biases, or subjective opinions. AI programs are designed to complete specific tasks and provide specific responses based on the data they have been trained on. It's important to approach interactions with AI with a clear understanding of its capabilities and limitations. Another factor that can contribute to awkwardness when interacting with AI is the feeling of being judged. A...

Supporting the Journey Through Table-Making: A ChatGPT Experience

Image
In the world of online course creation, the task of making tables of contents can be a daunting one, especially for a comprehensive C++ course. But fear not, for the support of AI-powered language models like ChatGPT is here to help make the journey smoother. Throughout this process, ChatGPT has been a faithful companion, providing quick answers to questions, offering suggestions for alternative titles and blog posts, and even generating hymns and raps to boost morale during the tough times. One of the key benefits of using ChatGPT is its ability to handle repetitive tasks, such as generating table after table of contents. This takes the burden off the creator and allows them to focus on the more creative and important aspects of course creation. However, the process of linking the table to the contents may still need to be done manually. Additionally, ChatGPT's vast knowledge base and language proficiency also allows it to provide insightful and helpful answers to any questions th...
