Overview of the C++ Standard Library
The C++ Standard Library is a collection of classes, templates, and functions that are part of the C++ programming language. It provides functionality that is used to perform common tasks such as input/output operations, string manipulation, and data processing.
Key Libraries
STL
The Standard Template Library (STL) is a set of templates that provide common data structures and functions for manipulating those data structures. The most common data structures provided by the STL are:
- Vectors: Dynamic arrays.
- Lists: Doubly linked lists.
- Queues: FIFO queues.
- Stacks: LIFO stacks.

IOStreams
IOStreams provide input/output functionality for C++. They allow you to read from and write to files, standard input/output, and other devices. The most commonly used IOStreams classes are:
iostream: Base class for input/output streams.fstream: File streams.sstream: String streams.

Regular Expressions
Regular expressions are used for pattern matching in strings. C++ provides a regex library that allows you to perform complex string operations using regular expressions.
