Standard library

From Free net encyclopedia

A standard library is a set of standardized subroutines, macro definitions, global variables, class definitions, templates, and/or other commonly-used programming objects to extend some programming language beyond what the bare language makes available.

Most standard libraries include definitions for commonly used algorithms (such as sorting algorithms) and data structures (such lists, trees and hash tables).
