Great choice!

Learning STL will significantly boost your C++ skills, especially when it
comes to solving complex problems efficiently. Here's a roadmap to help you get started with
STL:

1. Introduction to STL

 Containers: Understand the different types of containers in STL:


o Sequence Containers: vector, list, deque
o Associative Containers: set, map, multiset, multimap
o Unordered Associative Containers: unordered_set, unordered_map
o Container Adapters: stack, queue, priority_queue
 Iterators: Learn about iterators and how they provide a way to access elements
within containers.
 Algorithms: Get familiar with STL algorithms like sort, find, reverse, etc.

2. Sequence Containers

 Vector:
o Learn how to declare, initialize, and use vectors.
o Understand dynamic resizing, accessing elements, and common operations
like push_back, pop_back, and iterating.
 List:
o Explore linked lists with std::list, focusing on insertion, deletion, and
bidirectional iteration.
 Deque:
o Understand double-ended queues and their operations for efficient insertion
and deletion at both ends.

3. Associative Containers

 Set and Multiset:


o Learn about std::set for unique elements and std::multiset for allowing
duplicates.
o Understand insertion, deletion, and searching.
 Map and Multimap:
o Explore std::map for key-value pairs with unique keys and std::multimap
for allowing multiple keys.
o Learn about accessing elements by key, iterating, and common operations.

4. Unordered Associative Containers

 Unordered Set and Unordered Map:


o Understand how hash tables work with std::unordered_set and
std::unordered_map.
o Learn about the difference between ordered and unordered containers, and the
implications for performance.

5. Container Adapters
 Stack:
o Learn how to use std::stack for LIFO (Last In, First Out) operations.
 Queue:
o Understand std::queue for FIFO (First In, First Out) operations.
 Priority Queue:
o Explore std::priority_queue for working with elements that need to be
processed based on priority.

6. STL Algorithms

 Sorting: Learn about the sort and stable_sort algorithms.


 Searching: Use find, binary_search, and lower_bound/upper_bound for searching
elements.
 Other Algorithms: Explore algorithms like reverse, rotate, unique, and
next_permutation.

7. Practical Application

 Solve Problems: Start solving problems on platforms like LeetCode, HackerRank, or


Codeforces using STL. This will reinforce your learning and help you see how
powerful STL can be in practice.
 Mini Projects: Implement small projects using STL containers and algorithms to
consolidate your understanding.
