19.13. Wrap-Up

This chapter introduced struct definitions, initializing structs and using them with functions. We discussed typedef, using it to create aliases to help promote portability. We also introduced bitwise operators to manipulate data and bit fields for storing data compactly. You also learned about the string-conversion functions in <cstlib> and the string-processing functions in <cstring>. In the next chapter, we continue our discussion of data structures by discussing containers—data structures defined in the C++ Standard Template Library. We also present the many algorithms defined in the STL as well.
