Permutations, Partitions, and Heaps
This chapter explores some of the most essential yet often overlooked aspects of the algorithmic library of the C++ Standard Template Library (STL). The chapter sheds light on sequence organization through partitioning, sequence variation via permutations, and the fascinating world of heap-based operations. These operations are the backbone of many advanced algorithms and data structures. By understanding and mastering them, developers can enhance the efficiency of their applications, optimize data handling, and ensure the integrity of their datasets.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics related to STL:
- Partitioning
- Permutations
- Heap operations
- Best practices
