Hi! I’m 19, I like building stuff, breaking stuff, and most of all—understanding stuff. When I started learning C++, people kept dropping this term “STL” like it was the cheat code to everything. At first, I thought STL was something fancy or complex. But guess what? It's just a bunch of tools that make your life easier. And once you get it, it’s like… "Wait, that’s it? I spent 3 hours debugging a custom sort when this already existed?" So here’s my no-BS, friendly guide to the Standard Template Library (STL) in C++. If you’re just figuring things out like me — this is for you.
