(C++) Container

A class for containing one or multiple instances of a data types.

Every container has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example a std::vector has random-access reading/writing, but new elements can only be added at the begin and end of the container. For a std::list, this is the other way around.

This page is about one-dimensional containers (that is a container in which one value is needed to retrieve an element). For two-dimensional containers, go to the matrix page.
