STL Tutorial and Reference Guide 2nd Ed Code

The files in this directory are the source code for all examples in D.R. Musser, G.J. Derge, and Atul Saini, STL Tutorial and Reference Guide, Second Edition: C++ Programming with the Standard Template Library (Boston, MA: Addison-Wesley, 2001).

CONTENTS

README: This file.

Makefiles: Two sample Makefiles are included which build all of the example programs. The first uses Windows-style file extensions (.obj and .exe) and the second uses Unix-style extensions (.o and nothing). You may need to edit the Makefiles slightly to work with your compiler. This Makefile should be compatible with most Unix make programs including GNU make.

Source Code (*.cpp, *.h): In this book all major and most minor points are illustrated with actual code examples, nearly 100 small programs in all. The source code for all of these programs (and for variations mentioned in the book) is included here.

Dictionary file (diction): Several of the programs in Part II of the book use a file containing a dictionary of English words. You can use the programs with your own dictionary file if you have one, or use this 20,159-word dictionary file with which the programs were tested.

Theoretical Computer Science Genealogy file (TCS-genealogy.txt): The programs in Chapter 18 of the book uses a file which lists information about the doctoral degrees of theoretical computer scientists from around the world. You can use the program with your own genealogy file if you have one, or use this file with which the programs were tested. The file is also available from http://sigact.acm.org/genealogy/textfile.html.
