In C++, the Standard Library is a collection of classes and functions, which are written in the core language. The Standard Library provides several generic containers, functions to utilise and manipulate these containers, function objects, generic strings and streams (including interactive and file I/O), support for some language features, and every day functions for tasks such as finding the square root of a number. The C++ Standard Library also incorporates the C Standard Library. Features of the Standard Library are declared within the std namespace. C++ (pronounced see plus plus, IPA: /siː pləs pləs/) is a general-purpose computer programming language. ... In object-oriented programming, a class consists of a collection of types of encapsulated instance variables and types of methods, possibly with implementation of those types together with a constructor function that can be used to create objects of the class. ... Jump to: navigation, search In computer science, a subroutine (function, procedure, or subprogram) is a sequence of code which performs a specific task, as part of a larger program, and is grouped as one or more statement blocks; such code is sometimes collected into software libraries. ... In computer science, a core language is a pure programming language, generally organized into statement blocks; the core language is often developed into libraries, which are then used during programming. ... The C standard library is a now-standardised collection of header files and library routines used to implement common operations, such as input/output and string handling, in the C programming language. ... Jump to: navigation, search In general, a namespace is an abstract container, which is or could be filled by names, or technical terms, or words, and these represent (stand for) real-world things. ...

A function object, often called a functor, is a computer programming construct allowing an object to be invoked or called as if it were an ordinary function, usually with the same syntax. ... In object-oriented programming, an iterator is an object allowing one to sequence through all of the elements or parts contained in some other object, typically a container or list. ... In computing, locale is a set of parameters that defines the users language, country and any special variant preferences that the user wants to see in their user interface. ...
