Glossary of Terms
-
Scope:
Any set of code statements enclosed in braces "{" and "}". Scopes come in two forms:
Function scopes and all the control scopes they contain are executable scopes.
Namespace, class, struct, and enum scopes are declaration scopes. -
Stack Frame:
Memory temporarily allocated from the program's stack to an executable scope.
Allocation occurs when the program's thread of execution enters that scope.
The stack frame holds a function's parameters and return value and any local data declared in that scope.
This allocation becomes invalid when the thread of execution leaves it's scope.

Shows how to implement application tasks and test them. -
first look at STL notes,
pptx
The Standard Template Library (STL) provides a set of useful containers, iterators, and algorithms. You can use the containers without knowing too much about how templates work. We will get to that soon. -
