Beautiful C++ 14: STL Algorithms

Very few C++ developers know the time and effort they could save with the algorithm header of the Standard Library. This course unlocks that header by connecting tasks you need to perform to the single line of code from the STL to do them.

What you'll learn

If you're a C++ developer, save yourself valuable time and work by learning how to use the algorithm header. In this course, Beautiful C++: STL Algorithms, you'll learn the functions in the algorithm header. You'll find out how iterators multiply the power of the library. Next, you'll learn the conventions that lower your mental burden. Finally, you'll learn how to use the same algorithm with different collections so you don't have to learn new functions. After this course, you'll know what the algorithm header has to offer you and how to use it to your advantage while developing.
