3. Standard Template Library
The Standard Template Library (STL) is a software library for the C++ programming language that influenced many parts of the C++ Standard Library. The most important components are containers, iterators and algorithms.
The STL provides a ready-made set of common classes for C++, such as containers and associative arrays, that can be used with any built-in type and with any user-defined type that supports some elementary operations (such as copying and assignment).

4. Standard Template Library
STL algorithms are independent of containers, which significantly reduces the complexity of the library.
The STL achieves its results through the use of templates. This approach provides compile-time polymorphism that is often more efficient than traditional run-time polymorphism. Modern C++ compilers are tuned to minimize any abstraction penalty arising from heavy use of the STL.

5. Standard Template Library
The STL was created as the first library of generic algorithms and data structures for C++, with four ideas in mind: generic programming, abstractness without loss of efficiency, the Von Neumann computation model, and value semantics.

6. Containers
The STL contains sequence containers and associative containers. The standard sequence containers include vector, deque, and list. The standard associative containers are set, multiset, map, multimap, hash_set, hash_map, hash_multiset and hash_multimap. There are also container adaptors queue, priority_queue, and stack, that are containers with specific interface, using other containers as implementation.

7. pair
The pair container is a simple associative container consisting of a 2-tuple of data elements or objects, called 'first' and 'second', in that fixed order. The STL 'pair' can be assigned, copied and compared. The array of objects allocated in a map or hash_map are of type 'pair' by default, where all the 'first' elements act as the unique keys, each associated with their 'second' value objects

8. vector
a dynamic array, like C array (i.e., capable of random access) with the ability to resize itself automatically when inserting or erasing an object. Inserting an element to the back of the vector at the end takes amortized constant time. Removing the last element takes only constant time, because no resizing happens. Inserting and erasing at the beginning or in the middle is linear in time. A specialization for type bool exists, which optimizes for space by storing bool values as bits.

9. list
a double linked list; elements are not stored in contiguous memory. Opposite performance from a vector. Slow lookup and access (linear time), but once a position has been found, quick insertion and deletion (constant time).

10. set
Sets are containers that store unique elements following a specific order. In a set, the value of an element also identifies it (the value is itself the key, of type T), and each value must be unique. The value of the elements in a set cannot be modified once in the container (the elements are always const), but they can be inserted or removed from the container.

11. set
Internally, the elements in a set are always sorted following a specific strict weak ordering criterion indicated by its internal comparison object (of type Compare). set containers are generally slower than unordered_set containers to access individual elements by their key, but they allow the direct iteration on subsets based on their order.

12. set Sets are typically implemented as binary search trees Methods:
empty, size, clear, insert, erase, swap, count, find, key_comp, value_comp, …

13. deque
a vector with insertion/erase at the beginning or end in amortized constant time, however lacking some guarantees on iterator validity after altering the deque.

14. stack
Provides LIFO stack interface in terms of push/pop/top operations (the last inserted element is on top). Any sequence supporting operations back(), push_back(), and pop_back() can be used to instantiate stack (e.g. vector, list, and deque).
#include <stack>
stack<T> s;
T = data type

15. Stack. Main methods Element access top accesses the top element
Capacity
empty checks whether the underlying container is empty
size returns the number of elements
Modifiers
push inserts element at the top
pop removes the top element
swap swaps the contents
Operators
==,!=,<,<=,>,>= lexicographically compares the values in the stack

16. queue
Provides FIFO queue interface in terms of push/pop/front/back operations.
Any sequence supporting operations front(), back(), push_back(), and pop_front() can be used to instantiate queue (e.g. list and deque).
#include<queue>
queue<T> q;
T = data type

17. queue. Main methods Element access front access the first element
back access the last element
Capacity
empty checks whether the underlying container is empty
size returns the number of elements
Modifiers
push inserts element at the end
pop removes the first element
swap swaps the contents
Operators
==,!=,<,<=,>,>= lexicographically compares the values in the queue

18. priority_queue
Provides priority queue interface in terms of push/pop/top operations (the element with the highest priority is on top). Any random-access sequence supporting operations front(), push_back(), and pop_back() can be used to instantiate priority_queue (e.g. vector and deque). It is implemented using a heap. Elements should additionally support comparison (to determine which element has a higher priority and should be popped first).
#include <queue>
priority_queue<T> p;
T=data type

19. priority_queue. Main methods
Element access
Top accesses the top element
Capacity
empty checks whether the underlying container is empty
size returns the number of elements
Modifiers
push inserts element and sorts the underlying container
pop removes the top element
swap swaps the contents
Operators
==,!=,<,<=,>,>= lexicographically compares the values in the priority_queue

20. Applications
Stacks
Let n, m - natural numbers with a maximum of 5 digits, m≤n. Write a C ++ program to solve the requirements:
Build a stack s with numbers 1, 2, ..., n. Copy the stack in t. Display stack s.
Delete components from stack t. Display the number of stack components t.
Display stack t.
Example
n= 10
m=6 4

using namespace std;
int main() {
stack<int> s, t;
int n,m,i;
cout<<"n=";cin>>n;
cout<<"m=";cin>>m;
cout<<"a) ";
for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
