Visual C++ 5.0 Standard C++ Library

This website contains additional documentation for the Visual C++ 5.0 Standard C++ Library Components. The "Visual C++ 5.0 Standard C++ Library" has been organized into four main sections.

The Standard C++ Library Overview section introduces the library components and talks about how these components are implemented in Visual C++ 5.0. The Frequently Asked Questions lists the most frequently asked customer questions and answers to the questions. The Standard C++ Library Reference is further divided as the Containers Reference, the Algorithms Reference, and Appendix. Each topic in the Reference section explains the class/ members/functions briefly and has a sample which demonstrates the use of the class/members/functions.
