Dear all,
I was reading something on data structures on c++ and in that chapter
it was telling that the same components will be more efficiently
substituted with the STL ones.
So can somebody give me some clues? I think that is better to learn the
STL style than trying to write them with linked lists,pointers and so
on... Maybe I am mistaken at some points, and hope for your
understanding :))
Thanks in advance.

If I understand, you are reading a particular book, and it has some
implementations of data structures, similar to those provided in the
STL, and recommend you use the STL ones, rather than the book provided ones.

What is "them"?

I'm not sure what you mean. I suspect the book example implementations
are for your learning of data structures, not as a replacement for the
STL ones.
Always use the STL where you can.

I am reading the C++ How to Program by Deitel and that has a chapter
called data structures before giving an introduction to STL.

For example in data structures chapter there are linked list examples
for inserting back and front, stacks for popping, queues and binary
tree examples.

That is for sure.

Yep got that but this book gives very long examples hard to follow and
understand the basic idea, do you have a better source to understand
the basics. I am planning to use the STL for these data structures
however I would like to learn what is behind as well(at least
basically).
Thanks

OK, so you want a book or tutorial on data structures, with a possible
slant towards C++?

You should learn how to write your own so that you understand how the
ones in the STL are working and when to best use which container.
Also, there are the rare occasions when an STL container is not
appropriate for your use and you need something different enough that
you have to write your own. Finally, learning data structures and
recursion go hand in hand and recursion is definately useful to know.
So, learn how to make your own....but don't actually do it in real
projects. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
I have a question about how to put redundant information in data
structures, initialized at compile time. This is often necessary
for performance reasons and can't be done at run time (data
structures are read only)
Ideally one should be able to put the redundant
information there automatically so no mistakes are possible, but in a lot
of case I see no way how to do it.

When developing data structures for C#, there is an obvious

It can run through a million randomly generated strings in less than

close to 10 seconds. (Just trust my measurements; I don't want to
