STL?
Author
I was just wondering, what is STL? I think it stands for Standard Template Library, but what are templates used for? Can it be used to make game programming easier?

Generally templates r used to make generic classes and functions. STL is a collection of generic classes, mainly different datastructures like linked-lists, red-black trees and other usefull stuff.
Havent got much time right now, but thats basicly what it is.

I know than STL mean: Société de Transport de Laval (Laval bus network)

STL also includes template functions, such as searches for arrays of arbitrary type. It''s missing a couple of standard data structures (hashtables, sparse arrays, etc.). It can be used to make game programming easier, if it''s your kind of thing. Personally, I don''t like it at all.
