Containers are objects that handle a collection of other objects or elements. Everything container implements a well-defined data structure, like vectors, stacks, queues, maps and pairs, to name a few. There are three main types of containers in the STL. First we have sequence containers, which implement storage of data. These are vectors, lists, deques, stacks, and queues. Next we have associative containers, which store associative elements. This means that the elements are addressed by their content, as opposed to being addressed by their location or index. There are four of these containers- sets, maps, multisets, and multimaps. Now, there are two categories for associative containers. The first are called just associative containers and the other unordered associative containers. The main difference is that the…
