C++ Standard Template Library in Practice - Introduction to the STL

The video tutorial covers the Standard Template Library (STL) in C++, explaining its components like algorithms, containers, functions, and utilities. It also delves into creating and using templates, including templated functions, specialized templates, and templated lambdas. The instructor uses tools like GCC, Vim, GDB, and Valgrind on Ubuntu Linux 18.04, emphasizing the importance of a C-17 compatible environment.

Which tool is used in the course to detect memory leaks?

• Makefiles

• Vim

• Valgrind

• GDB

What is the primary purpose of the Standard Template Library (STL)?

• To compile C++ code into machine language

• To offer a graphical user interface for C++ programs

• To provide a set of templated classes for common data structures and algorithms

• To debug C++ programs

Which of the following is NOT a category of STL containers?

• Sequence containers

• Associative containers

• Adapter containers

• Graph containers

What is the key characteristic of associative containers in STL?

• They store elements in a linear sequence

• They provide arithmetic operations

• They store data in key-value pairs

• They adapt existing data types

What is the purpose of template specialization in C++?

• To compile code faster

• To define a specific implementation for a specific data type

• To create a generic function for all data types

• To debug templated functions

In C++ templates, what does the keyword 'template' signify?

• It is used for debugging

• It marks the end of a class

• It specifies a generic type

• It indicates the start of a function

What is a templated lambda in C++?

• A lambda function that can accept any data type

• A lambda function with a fixed return type

• A lambda function that is used for debugging

• A lambda function that cannot be overloaded

How does a templated lambda differ from a regular lambda?

• It cannot return a value

• It uses a specific data type

• It allows for generic type parameters

• It can be used only in C++20

What is the result of the templated lambda when comparing two equal integers?

• False

• Undefined

• True

• Error

Which C++ standard introduced templated lambdas?

• C++20

• C++17

• C++14

• C++11
