C++ Standered Template Library (STL)
Template can be used to create generic classes and functions that could extend supports for Generic programming.
-> In order to help the C++ users in generic programming, Alexander Stepanov and Meng Lee of Hewlett packard developed a set of general purpose templatized classes (data structure) and functions (Algorithms) that could be used as a standered approach for sorting and processing data.
->The collection of these Generic classes and functions is called, the Standered template library (STL). The STL has now become a part of ANSI standered C++ class library.
-> STL components which are now part of standered C++ library are defined in the namespace std. we must use the using namespace directive.

using namespace std;
to inform the compiler that we intend to use the standered C++ library. All programs use this directive.
