Traditional Tools.h++ Iterators
The Tools.h++ class library includes three types of collection classes:
The template-based collection classes, which we call collection class templates, or just
templates, for short;
●
The generic collection classes, modeled after Stroustrup (1986), Chapter 7.3.5;
●
The Smalltalk-like collection classes.
●
Despite their different implementations, their functionality and user interfaces (member
function names, etc.) are similar.
In the following sections, we'll discuss each type of collection class in turn. In this section, we'll
discuss basic concepts of collection classes, and translate some of the jargon you may encounter
here and in the literature of C++.
