[gameprogrammer] Re: stl container

STL == stdlib?  That totally goes against what i know (or think??)

STL = standard template library not C++ standard library (unless i am
very very very misled!).

STL lets you do lists, vectors, maps, and other abstract data types
without having to code your own.

stdlib on the other hand gives you access to abs, atoi, malloc, rand, etc.
